Serious question, I used the same password for everything for like 10 years until my cousin's Netflix got hacked from a breach.

It was a huge wake-up call that a single leak could unlock my whole digital life, so what's the easiest way you guys actually manage a bunch of different strong passwords now?

Same, I just use a password manager now.

Tell me about it, my old system was using movie quotes with the year they came out, which felt genius until I had to type out a full sentence from Braveheart every time. David's right about letting the manager make the crazy ones, those things look like someone just fell asleep on the keyboard. Honestly the best part is not getting locked out of my own accounts every other month because I mixed up which pet's birthday I used.

Started using a password manager a few years back after my "dog's name plus 123" system failed me. Set up two-factor on the important stuff like email and banking. Let the manager make those crazy long passwords for you. It's a relief to only have to remember one master password now.
