Top Tip:
Store all your passwords for your accounts in a password protected PDF file.

(just kidding... lol)

I don't even trust those password apps any more.. even Google's was
"compromised". You can literally go into your Google settings and export
all the user and pw to a CSV file... in plain text. That can't be good.

it is entirely possible to construct a completely memorizable and
entirely secure password.

I'd tell you how I construct strong-yet-memorizable passwords, but then
I'd be legally obligated to kill you.
