      Protip: create a passphrase instead of a password. Way harder to guess, way easier to remember.

        I did use a passphrase. I even created it using a “seed word” such that the passphrase is like an acrostic poem. I know how many words there are and I know every word except one, and I even know the starting letter of the word, I just can’t figure out what the word is. I guesed passwords for 2 days straight and didn’t get the correct one, now I just lost my motivation to keep guessing.

        Depression certainly doesn’t help.

          Yeah depression sucks :(

          You could write down the passphrase on a piece of paper and hide it in a book or something. Most hacks happen via malware, database leaks, or social engineering anyway. Just don’t lend out the book to anyone accidentally lmao.

          No system is perfect, unfortunately.

          I hope you have a lovely day :)

    I know this is /c/memes, but do you use any memorization techniques? Spaced repetition is a basic but extremely useful one.
    Cramming is terrible for learning because you need to repeat things with longer and longer intervals to truly remember it long-term. Thankfully learning with this method can be LESS work even though it’s much more effective.

      I can really recommend Anki to anyone who wants to try this. Such a good software

    When the test ends and suddenly you remember the answer to that one question.

    Worst feeling I’ve had in my academic career, bar none.

    When I took my final for my last Calc class in college I told my professor beforehand that I had a bucket of math knowledge in my brain and after the exam I was gonna dump it out and fill it with beer. He didn’t think it was funny.
