      Use a password manager. The fact you use the same password on every site is very disturbing.

      KeepassXC (KeepassDX on android, I don’t know what I apple option is) is a good free open source option.

        iOS and macOS have a built in password generator and storage system that are encrypted. It also works with passkeys. Surprisingly, there are people (even people I’ve explained this to) who don’t use it and continue to use a single password everywhere. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

          Just use a password manager. It’s super easy to get started with it and you’ll only need to know one password, so make it a very good one. I’m certain yours could be brute forced, especially since I know it’s now Lemmy with a “.” somewhere, probably using words so throw a dictionary attack at it and it’s probably easy.

        It’s a shame KeePass doesn’t have a setting to generate an IBM mainframe password. Those rules are hard to implement in the standard set of settings

      I like $ and # as chars to put as the mandatory special when the requirements are hard to find
