Solved I'm looking for an alternate method to sign into my devices & websites I belong to


@kelper , I don't know, but I've tried using Google Authenticator and it just doesn't do what I want it to do, compared to MS Authenticator.
If it doesn't work for me I just stay away from it, lol...

Well you just said "passwords." :)

But that does bring up the "debate" about complexity versus length. Using Gibson's calculator, conductorelephantmusli only has lowercase characters, 22 of them, and would take 44.55 billion centuries offline. ;;;;;Pas$w0rd;;;;; is four characters shorter but uses all four of his character classes, and it takes 1.28 thousand trillion centuries offline.
You have misunderstood him. It is only quicker to crack if the hacker knows that I have only used lowecase characters.

Do you think they're sitting there typing the characters in your password? That's what rainbow tables are for. I don't misunderstand anything the security charlatan says.
