I just started merging 3 common passwords I use through my life in chronological order. It’s a 32 letter behemoth with lowercase, uppercase, numbers, and symbols. All in random patterns.
The middle password is one that I started using 2 years ago when I wanted a new password for my new OS installation called FreeBSD at the time. It had numbers and symbols but also “Frbsd” to stand for that name.
Now when I am signing up to a new service I change that portion in the middle of the 32 letter password so “…Frbsd…” becomes “…Gthb…” or “…Dscrd…” etc.
This way even if someone finds my password for gml it won’t work for others either.
