Which of the following passwords is easiest to memorize?
1. "SlickDeals2020"
2. "4 God So Loved The World"
3. "3!dFi&m_udhUfhhaAEJ75jf@HbzOpm37lauma_25381047361"
You've probably answered #1 or #2. Security professionals (hackers by another name) have tools that generate passwords. Without getting into the details, it would be beyond trivial to crack password #1. Password #2 would take longer, but since it is a passage in a popular book, the time it would take to crack it is reduced. Either one should take less than 1 day to compromise. (The first should take less than 10 minutes)
Password #3 is sufficiently random and has a very long length. It would take even the best known supercomputers *years* to crack that password. That makes it the best password of the 3, but obviously the most difficult to memorize.
That's what a passsword manager like LastPass, 1Password, Keychain with a YubiKey is for. You can generate wildly complex pass phrases that make accessing your data out of reach for most would-be hackers and secure all of that data with a physical hardware device that stays in your possession.
Yes, I hear you: "I haven't done anything wrong; the govt isn't cracking my passwords;I don't care if they get into my acct" and so on. Cool, I get it. Do you. Just know that using your spouse's name and 4 digits makes you the low-hanging fruit for somebody learning how to hack, let alone someone who is competent at their job.
Note that you should always buy a minimum of 2, because if you ever lose a key you don't want to be locked out of your accounts. (should always have 2 associated).

I don't regret purchasing them at all. As soon as a deal comes around for a mini one, I'm all on it.

How do people use them. For example just for email?
