      Protip: create a passphrase instead of a password. Way harder to guess, way easier to remember.

        I did use a passphrase. I even created it using a “seed word” such that the passphrase is like an acrostic poem. I know how many words there are and I know every word except one, and I even know the starting letter of the word, I just can’t figure out what the word is. I guesed passwords for 2 days straight and didn’t get the correct one, now I just lost my motivation to keep guessing.

        Depression certainly doesn’t help.

          Yeah depression sucks :(

          You could write down the passphrase on a piece of paper and hide it in a book or something. Most hacks happen via malware, database leaks, or social engineering anyway. Just don’t lend out the book to anyone accidentally lmao.

          No system is perfect, unfortunately.

          I hope you have a lovely day :)
