Zero for me. No Netflix or anything here, I'm not into subscription based services.

But if you do have subscription based services, what might be the better ones out there?

My goop likes strong and varied passwords.

Write a story you will never forget about whatever service. Like 'when h is Y and won I; I would rather die than use google as a service.' = "1wouldratYerd1etYanusegoogleasaserv1ce."

I used to do that with Buying for bike shops where I had a bunch of accounts all over the place. I kept mental track of the starting key so that I knew my password rotation and history. I kept a hints book, but did not need it.

I could see that working. The great thing about password managers is that your codes are always intensely random and secure. The bad thing is that once you're into them, it would take several hours of work to make them all into something a human can memorise.

Me too.

Dihydrogen Monoxide + Sodium Ferrocyanide + Ferric Ammonium Sulfate = ❔

I'm not even a fucking chemist LOL, nor is the answer to that question in any way related to my actual password, but I'll give you an upvote if you can figure out what color that makes...

Sounds fun, but you keep it. I have a kid to put to bed.

Take care, and have an upvote anyways.

It makes a deep Navy/Prussian Blue.
