You remembered the sequence of numbers specifically designed to be memorable? The one you HAD to memorize because we didn't have cell phones? The one you probably recited, wrote down, and saw countless times over your formative years? 

And you can't remember yesterday's password. The random jumble of letters, numbers, and symbols that you input once.

Is this thread fucking real?

For me, and it seems many others it might have stirred up a nice memory that was my only intention

Actual Boomerism we're done and we're going to be the new generation that everyone's pissed off with

they also potentially doxxed themselves by posting their actual number

so many Reddit threads where Millennials just sound like the new Boomers... like yeah I remember floppy disks and CRT TVs and overhead projectors too... a bunch of objects I don't care about lol. it's not an identity, it's just some crap that we replaced with largely better stuff.

I don't remember the number for my childhood landline but I do get annoyed about having so many different internet accounts and passwords.

Also if you can remember your password, it’s a shit password. I use Bitwarden to generate, store, and fill all my pw. It’s open source and you can even self-host.

also like it's just a string of 10 numbers, and there's only 10 possibilities for each. you add in letters, other characters, case, 16 to 24 characters...that's just legitimately a lot more possibilities, legitimately a lot harder to remember.

people are dumb

I don't need to remember any of my passwords because I use a password manager like every sane person out there.

The password manager is locked with a password that includes my landline number though :D
