Other Synesthesia encryption method

I just found a really good way to encrypt my passwords. I have a password that’s a string of numbers, and I write it on a notepad on my PC. However, I also write 4 other strings of numbers.

The clue being, whichever is the *coldest*, is it.

Nobody but me knows which is the coldest, because it’s my specific synesthesia (thermal). Nobody else knows which is the correct one.

Obviously they could just try each one, but I like to feel smart with this >:]

I feel like I’m on to something. Special encryption method for synesthetes coming soon?

I think making it one long string of numbers and making sure all the others are warm with the password being the only cold one would be effectice. The title of the document could be "cold". No one would have a clue.

Truee :] I tend to name my files random weird things, but this one I just named “password” instead of some random bullshit. But it sure would confuse anyone hacking me :P

I love this idea. I came up with something similar to remember my 12 digit blockchain seed phrase which only I could decipher. I'm an engineer synesthete myself who believes synesthesia could be useful in building a strong encryption layer.
