Years ago. Google changes the ways to sign in more frequently. 2FA messages, authenticator, then confirming sign-in on a separate device, which now seems to have been standardized as passkeys.
What Google password?
I don’t intend to browse RMS-style, but I have zero need of a Google account, nor of the major search engines directly.
I just add layers between myself and that particular company. I still can get their data, but without the creep factor.
Mostly.
It’s an imperfect solution, but I’m more comfortable with access by proxy than direct access.
Which phone OS are you using?
I try to change it every other year or so. Then I forget it because I did not type it in and have to reset it to the old one.
After 5 times of this I’ve just given up and won’t change it until my password is in a common password dictionary
Six months ago, as the wrong password message happily reminds me regularly.
I just use the last 12 digits of pi for all my passwords. So easy to remember!
Lol, like there is.
So you found them huh?
A couple of years ago. It’s like 30 random characters generated by a password manager, and i have 2fa on. Far more secure than my silly emails warrant. There’s not much there worth stealing.
Nice try hackerman.
It is unique and I have MFA enabled so it hasn’t changed in a very long time. As per current security best practices.
Same.

CHANGED passw0rd123! TO passw0rd1234!
Oh cool, Lemmy automatically obfuscates your password. All I see is *************!
hunter2
Much more secure 👍🏾
Just changed it to hunter3, thought it was time I should upgrade security
3 is actually a really easy number to guess (first prime after 2, number of people in a threesome, etc.). You should probably go with 4.
But I’m only seeing *******. I guess that’s because it’s your password not mine.

Nice try
Five minutes after reading this post.
Use a yubikey, password is useless unless hacker can obtain your physical key also
stardate 41153.7.
A bit over two months ago. I try to go through my password manager to change all my passwords and clean up unused accounts a couple times a year.
