Larion Studios forum stores your passwords in unhashed plaintext. Don’t use a password there that you’ve used anywhere else.

    suggest something like this

    use your favorite password but add the site to it

    so your lemmy password would be ilovemypasswordLEMMY

    and your reddit password would be ilovemypasswordREDDIT

    that way they can keep their shitty password but it won’t be the same password on every site and they have an easy way to remember what the proper password is for the site they want to accesss

      I used to do this, but I realized that if someone got access to any of my passwords, they would easily spot the pattern.

      In the end, using a password manager and generating large random passwords for each site was the best solution I found.

        Still better than using the same password. My argument is if you can only convince them to do at least that, it’s better than every site using the same password
