   Hello Wilfred!

    AA>> those follow a "recipe" that I use to reconsistute any pw I need for   
    AA>> any site - so, I don't really need to remember the password, just the

    WvV> That's not good practice! It makes them predictable...   
      
   The browser is for stuff online that doesn't have access for purchases or     
   banking, just basic logins.  And even some of those pws follow a formula/    
   recipe, so even they can be rebuilt easily.   
      
   Nothing about the formula is predictable.  Only I know it.  It's only in my     
   head.  And.. depending on the circumstances for pw changes by some sites,     
   even the tweeking follows a pseudo "rule".   
      
      
    WvV> I just have my password manager generate a long random password,   
    WvV> consisting of all possible characters, most of the time.   
      
   That's fine, but even a set of "random" words or phrase is good enough.   
      
   So.. as an example, a random phrase that is only meaningful to you, add some     
   other uniqueness in some other way that only you know, and you have a pw that     
   no one could guess, and it's something you can recover with only the     
   technology of your brain.   ;)
