The fact this happens is infuriating. 😣

I only see ******* when you type hunter2

You should really upgrade to hunter3

Mine is bigboipassword123. Can't dictionary attack it cuz boi isn't in the dictionary.

My company doesn't tell you what the AD policy is for changing your domain logon password but windows will just tell you that it doesn't meet the policy. What IS the password policy you ask?

Well it's uh... 🤷‍♂️

Try again!

Yeah I’ve noticed this a few times as well. It’s pretty bad.

If I recall, a few (most) security experts now support written-on-paper passwords. Why? Because it is the solution for users who would otherwise commit far a more egregious security faux pas otherwise.

In most circumstances, it is easier to keep the notebook secure than your wallet, your car, etc. And let's be honest, the list of suspects are REALLY short if someone breaks into your house, opens the third drawer, grabs the notebook and runs. And if it's more than that and somebody ransacks your entire house, I guarantee having to change your passwords is the least of your headaches.

Ultimately, physical compromise is the lowest possible security risk for most people throughout their lives. Yes, it happens. Yes, it sucks. But having your bank password out in the wild with nobody realizing it is possibly far more dangerous.

My grandma does this, but they're in one of the many Bibles she has in her home.

They are just gaslighting you. Its a global conspiracy in tech industry

That's even more reason to use a password manager. You're far more likely to have unique passwords per site. If one gets compromised, others don't.
