Our whole life online is kept "Safe" with the use of passwords. If you aren't using a proper random password generator and a notebook it can get pretty hard to come up with unique passwords that are easy to remember.
Have you searched on line for the sites that tell you how long it would take to "hack" your password? Here's one. https://random-ize.com/how-long-to-hack-pass/ You would be surprised how quick "they" can do it.
Here is an interesting and simple way to create unique unhackable passwords that won't take up too much of the grey matter to remember.
Tell me what you think. Useful? What are your ideas?

The problem with passwords is that servers store them... preferably as salted hashes.
Cryptographic keys are a much safer method of authentication, since the password never transits the network. Unfortunately, few web services use public key auth, and not many web servers support such authentication natively... which is a shame. In a well thought out public key auth implementation, the only thing a "hacker" will get is a bucket of public keys.
However, since passwords are a reality of today's Internet, it's a good idea to utilize a password manager.
I agree. A password generator is what I use on sites that don't use cryptographic keys.
