Since my main lemmy’s password is locked behind Bitwarden, I had to make a new account to post. Originally I started using passwords manager because I keep forgetting passwords. But my paranoid ass is so worried that someone saw me typing my Bitwarden master password so I feel the urge to change it. So now I forgot the new master password.

The password is a few word passphrase generated from a keyword. Like an acoustic poem, if you know what I mean. I know all the words except one word, and I know the starting letter of the word, just forgot the exact word. 🥲 Guess I’m gonna flip through the dictionary to find a word that feels right.

Um so… has anyone experienced memory issues? I’m a young adult (18-25 age range), so I feel so strange to be forgetting stuff so early. Like do young people normally forget things?

    I use a yubikey with a static password set in slot 2. There’s a shorter mental password I add to the static password. Those combined mean my master password to my password manager is something I know and something I have.
