      You didn’t give your password but you gave your method for creating them which is not the best idea you know

      I don’t use the random generated passwords cuz they’re hard to read. And some dumb forms disable copy/paste stuff.

      I get all my passwords from usapassphrase.net, and then usually capitalize the words, separated by periods, with 69 appended to the end.

      It’s easy to remember or type, and it also typically works for password rules around casing, numbers, and special character inclusion. Plus 4 word passphrases tend to be a lot of characters, providing a nice long password which is good for security.

      Few critiques, not personally towards you at all but I really don’t think people should follow this approach

      People can have hundreds of different passwords across various sites this really isn’t achievable

      Human memory is terrible as well, it’s not a matter of if you forget it’s when

      Storing in a standard notes file is absolutely terrible security, it’s also extremely unusable once you have more than a couple passwords

      I really suggest to people using a password manager, most of them have apps for your phone and plugins for your web browser to allow you to autofill. They also allow you to randomly generate passphrases/codes for different sites and the autofill means you never have to remember a single one whilst having extremely strong passwords

      I’d recommend looking into either Bitwarden or 1Password
