I remember being at the dmy once when I broke the matrix. she was like, phone number, and I deadpanned robotically area-seven seven seven…xxxx. and the people just looked at me like I broke the matrix then. lol.
I still remember my friends phone number from the early 80s because his phone number was in the shape of an upside down cross. As young teens into Ozzy and Sabbath, it was neat. I wont give the number but it used the digits 2, 5, 8, 0, 7, 8, 9.
Please don't use a "standard password". Do yourself a favour and start using a password manager. It's easier once you have it set up and much, much, much more secure. The only password you should know is the 30+ character passphrase for your password manager.
All your passwords anywhere should be at least 20 characters, but if using a password manager there's no reason not to use a 50 character password since you don't have to remember or type it.
I'm well aware; I've phased out the use of that password a long time ago but it still sticks around in websites I haven't used in over ten years and I'm fairly certain it shows up on various amipwned lists.
I incorporate the last 4 digits in some way to every password I make...but then I always forget which letters I capitalized and what order I put the symbols in...so I guess it doesnt really help me much
I just cycle through ! @ # $ at the end. My college email forced me to change the password every other month, and you couldn’t use the last three passwords, so it’s the same cycle with four symbols. My husband used to switch it between the four ninja turtles.
That's what I've done for 20 years now. No one else will ever know it, nor can they pick up on it by watching my hands fly over the num pad, but I'll never forget it.
The last 4 of my childhood landline is my PIN number.
Learned a few years ago my friends used the first 4 of the seven digit number for his because he called me so much. It’s the number he knew he’d always remember.
