I will take a stanza from a song, use the first letter from each word, switch the S to 5 or $ as an example, and make sure I have two uppercase, two lower, two numbers. and two special characters, 8 minimum, although now it runs about 13.

I hum as I type in my password. All I have to remember is how I typed it out.

Come at me, dictionary cracks. The result is bonkers as fuck, but I loved that stanza. I have passwords I have used for 20+ years.

My coworker who sits next to me recently commented to me that I always hum the same tune when I log into my computer. Then he mentioned I hum a different tune when I log into the proxmox.

My sticky note would be like:

computer - Local H

proxmox - Sonic Youth

mail server - Future of the Left

NAS - Faith No More

Inventory - Slothrust

etc.
