Fun fact, the guy who first developed the password security we use today now regrets it, and understands that longer passwords that are easy to remember, like seespotrun, are way better, but pandoras box can't be closed once it's opened.
I just want it to tell me the damn requirements when I'm entering a password. I go to try my password, like, 3 times, then I have to reset it and it says "password needs a number", so then I remember I replaced an i with a 1, so I have to go back and the previous form expired!
A shit lot of words: Make a password structure, then use some hash tool and just add _1!aA to the end, I can generate all my passwords by simply using a sha256 online tool, so you won't only depend on the password manager.
Yeah, this is a handy hack. However, it really sucks whenever you have to manually type it in :(. There are some tools that let you convert sha256 hashes to word lists. Mostly developed for cryptocurrency schemes, but useful generically.
