1 year agoWhile most of the time, I remember my password, I know I could just snap and forget it right there at any point. Happened to me not once. And I’m in my 20s. Sometimes when I forget a password, I just start typing and muscle memory kicks in, sometimes it doesn’t. I guess our brains are not optimized to store long random strings of characters. You could use a long sentence as your master password or do as I do:
Come up with a way to make up a long seemingly random password from a couple words. Then if/when you forget a password, just remember those words and reconstruct password from them.
- Don’t use common dictionary words or anything from popular media, as it could be guessed by attackers.
- You can write down algorithm on a piece of paper and keep it somewhere safe.
- Words should be related but not directly:
- two asteroid names - bad
- asteroid name and it’s greek translation - bad
- real city name and city name from a book - good
- two words that both start with S and end with T - good
- If you forget both words, you should be able to remember/look up at least one of them if you still remember how you came up with the word.
Not a language per se, but subsets of languages used for fantasy consoles usually do not implement import functionality. TIC-80, PICO-8, etc. etc. WIKI I wouldn’t call that a feature, but it drives you to write less and more space-optimized code.
Now that I think about it, source code size could be a feature in itself, look at codeGolf-oriented esolangs:
