    I thought I was the only one who did this! Most people I explain it to say I am insane, but it doesn’t take that much training to get down, and I know 100% that nobody can steal my credentials unless they drill into my head.

      I have regular nerd-arguments about it:

      “All they have to do is break two of your passwords, and they can reverse-engineer your passwords!” - Maybe, if they have a super-computer… “It’s so much work” - Once. It’s so much work once. Then, it’s much easier than loading software or digging out a dongle every time you log into anything up until you decide to change all your algorithms… “What happens if you forget?” - What happens if you forget?
