  The core infrastructure backend (API, database, Docker, etc). (by bitwarden)

  

I use a password manager, so I only actually remember about ten passwords*. There are several options, but I use Bitwarden, which I believe is the best one. It’s definitely something worth setting up. You should be able to export your saved passwords from your browser and import them in, so it’s not too much of a faff. Also, the passwords that I do remember are xkcd-style, which makes them much easier to remember.

  World's fastest and most advanced password recovery utility

  

Hmm, that does sound like a good point. But, what if someone tries with, say a dictionary with 104 common words (from Wiktionary) assuming the priori that you have n words separated by whitespace as your password. Then, the sample space to check is 104n and given that the typical desktop now can do about 1012 guesses/sec, this amounts to under 3 hours for n=4. There are tools like hashcat anyone can run on their PC to do this.
