    absolutely. My average password is something like “!^knqopLy4qiVa@2msZ8nLxjjz”. while it can be occasionally annoying copying it to something new (for example, when i log into my VR headset after factory resetting it), its more than worth it for security.

      For any password I might have to type in, I usually generated a series of strings. While not technically not as secure, it’s pretty damn good and easier to type in. But I’d say 98% of my passwords are 20-100 characters of random gibberish. I also use 2FA with Aegis on as much as I possibly can. When I was using google authenticator, it got extremely annoying with 30 accounts with no search feature and random ordering. Aegis has made having even more a breeze. Now I have no problem adding every account possible with 2FA. (Sorry apple users)

        yea, i used to use google authenitcator, but found its ability to back up codes very lacking, and i nearly lost access.

        I switched to a third party service i have been very happy with.
