It is unique and I have MFA enabled so it hasn’t changed in a very long time. As per current security best practices.
Same.
Nice try hackerman.

CHANGED passw0rd123! TO passw0rd1234!
Oh cool, Lemmy automatically obfuscates your password. All I see is *************!
hunter2
******* here
*************!
Much more secure 👍🏾
I just use the last 12 digits of pi for all my passwords. So easy to remember!
So you found them huh?
Lol, like there is.
Just changed it to hunter3, thought it was time I should upgrade security
But I’m only seeing *******. I guess that’s because it’s your password not mine.
(rip bash.org)
3 is actually a really easy number to guess (first prime after 2, number of people in a threesome, etc.). You should probably go with 4.
Nice try
Six months ago, as the wrong password message happily reminds me regularly.

stardate 41153.7
A bit over two months ago. I try to go through my password manager to change all my passwords and clean up unused accounts a couple times a year.
You are supposed to do that?
Side note I try to do that about once a year.
If you’re memorizing your password, don’t change it too often because it’ll just confuse you and encourage you to pick easy to remember passwords which are less secure. Change your password if you hear about a hack, or have reason to suspect your password got leaked. Otherwise there’s no need.
If you have a password manager though, go off. Change it as often as you’d like.
(Also 2FA, unique passwords per site, etc etc etc)
No, you’re not.
What Google password?
I don’t intend to browse RMS-style, but I have zero need of a Google account, nor of the major search engines directly.
I just add layers between myself and that particular company. I still can get their data, but without the creep factor.
Mostly.
It’s an imperfect solution, but I’m more comfortable with access by proxy than direct access.
Which phone OS are you using?
IOS presently, partially to simplify de googling.

Use a yubikey, password is useless unless hacker can obtain your physical key also
