Sysadmins who use password managers: what’s your actual password generation strategy these days?
Do you fully max out complexity because you don’t need to remember the passwords anyway?
For example:
- 64–128 random chars
- upper/lowercase
- numbers
- lots of special characters
Or do you intentionally keep things simpler to avoid compatibility issues with websites/apps?
For example:
- only letters + numbers
- avoiding special chars
- limiting length to ~20–30 chars because that’s already more than secure enough
I’m curious what experienced admins actually use in practice vs. the theoretical “maximum security” approach.
