Even when I went, which was before LLMs were a thing, about 75% of upper education is establishing networks with other people that are going to be in white collar work. Literally, your internships and connections with other students will matter far more than your GPA in most fields. Especially if it’s a “bullshit job” that doesn’t actually require a lot of technical knowledge or skill.

Yeah, I was particularly irked by that 16 limit I encountered the other day.

And I stand corrected, then, and color me impressed. I’ll look into doing this for those passwords I need to remember, like masters.

How many characters are we talking, though? I’ve had passwords as limiting as 16 characters for some services (unfortunately)… that seems small to me for generating real randomness with passphrases.

That said, fair enough, but as someone who has administered a network before, I would never, ever want my users relying on their brain… the security from a pass manager is practically going to be way better than the standard practices of an average user without one. IMO.

But hey, color me impressed, honestly.

What composition though? I’ve got well over 100 that are 20+ characters including special characters. I can’t believe this is possible without use of words or something easily guessed.

I do have a few passwords I keep to myself, and even with my method of taking the first letter from a key phrase or set of song lyrics and switching most to leet speak, I still don’t think I could possibly remember more than a dozen reliably.
