I fear relying on a password manager and getting locked out somehow. Imagine something goes wrong and I just… lose all my accounts at once. Not knowing my passwords seems kinda scary. Plus, sometimes I may need one and have no access to my password manager. Had to memorise my password last semester for uni computer tests (school’s computer, no phone). Now that I’ve had to reset it, it has grown stronger. I’ve already started working on memorising it, though. Not sure if passphrases would make that easier or more difficult
Store a backup on a USB stick you keep in your house (in another room than your computer)
A sentence is easier to remember than random letters and it’s length and punctuation make it stronger than most pw. Use a sentence you like from a book, a video game, a show or a music. It’s easier to memorize and bring a bit joy when you type it.
Eh, I don’t trust myself with my own data. I’ve gotten locked out of a few accounts once cause I had an issue on my laptop and my phone one week apart, I didn’t set up 2fa all over again for all accounts, and prolly didn’t catch a folder with 2fa backup codes on my computer during the last minute emergency backup I did from pc to phone before reinstalling (couldn’t be assed to figure out why booting to black screen during vacations. Not an issue I recall facing since dropping Manjaro, though. Good riddance.)
I have a password generated with a password manager. Pretty much memorised already. Though granted, for several accounts with differing passwords, that’d be difficult. This is just one of’em
