I used to use abc123 and football as passwords for my AOL account but when another email account was hacked I became obsessive about strong passwords. Now I use Keepass and all my important passwords are as long and random as something like vG7"59;})gb"{]mAE-#Fgb!vZ4. I doubt the worlds best software could decipher that. Impossible to memorise and a nightmare when I have to log in on a new device like my iPhone but I've not been hacked since.
Just don't tell anybody. Same. When I was a teen, I used to have "Jesus" as the password I used on my login in my high school computer science class. Hey, did you know I was an Evangelical Christian? Did you know everyone else at the time knew that? Did you further know what happened multiple times in a single year? Ever since then I always have about half a dozen ready to use passwords, ones easy for me to remember, not associated with anything I like, and relatively complex enough to secure my system. I also use KeePass because at this point in my life I've forgotten more than I can remember. It's my favorite, and I love that it works on almost any OS. Oh, it's likely correct. Every so often I'll work on a person's computer, and when they have to give me access to their system, about half the time it's a variation of 123456, password, or abcdefg.
Do you have a Mac computer? I don't know what this is called or how it works, but one day I discovered that I could copy something from my Mac and paste it on my iPhone. That would make those long passwords easier for you.
I don't know about Keepass, but I use 1Password every day, and it keeps all your passwords (and other stuff) synchronized on all your devices. The only password you ever need to remember is the 'master password' that unlocks the whole thing, and even then, you don't usually need that on iOS devices as they use Face ID.
That's essentially KeePass. It's a cross platform password manager. Makes it easy for me to switch back and forth between Linux and Windows without having to need two different password managers. Open source, too, which means you can see what makes it tick in case someone tries to put something shady in the coding.
or look at something like Bitwarden which is a vault for your passwords that is cross platform. I have it on my PC, phone and iPad so can ascess any passwords rather than making use to the password features on your web browser. It's secure and encrypted. Works nicely on my mobile devices where I can use the biometrics to unlock it.
I like how there is no character limit in the password field so I also use it for storing confidential text.
It's easily my favorite password app. Flexible, open source, secure, cross platform, and free, which is my favorite thing.
