    I use a password pattern. I have hundreds of different passwords all stored in my head and all between 10-20 characters long. The trick is to have a deterministic formula for picking a password.

    Example: short word + First 6 in url + symbol + short word capitalised + number

    Let’s say the first word is cat and second is dog, symbol is - and number is 5 and you have a Gmail it would give you

    “catgmail-Dog5”

    https://www.passwordmonster.com/ gives it 61 years to crack this one but if you use longer words you get better times.
