I had a boring job years ago. We didn’t have web access in the office, we did have a typing tutor program
I could already type
So I decided to learn to type again
So now I type on a dvorak layout except for the first login where I must use qwerty. About the time the password expires and must be changed I get to the point where it’s muscle memory in both layouts
The worst is when the password manager (KeePass in this case) is in quick unlock mode in its default configuration “enter the last four characters of your password”
Me: like I can remember how my password ends. Just let me type the whole thing
First try: Normal fast
Second try: Push harder in case a key didn’t register, still normal fast
Third try: Only use a single finger, selecting every key carefully

Fourth try: total motion blur
Trust the muscle memory.

Where’s the “check Caps Lock key” step?
I disabled the caps lock key all together
How do you then activate cruise control for cool?
My laptop has a LED that lights up when the caps lock is on I installed a buzzer on it
Definitely want to do that on all keyboards at work

Use a password manager
And on the third try, you think you accidentally failed to hit the last key, and so you have to start all over again.
Or it turns out you accidentally left caps lock on, and now you’re locked out for a few minutes.
Two RJ ports on a laptop? Some of us are lucky to get one!
RJ45 and RJ11
That’s why I didn’t specify which kind. I knew some laptops had a DSL or dial-up modem inside for use with any telephone sockets on the go.
“I miss those old ports” is what I’d say, but my laptop has 'em :3
Both? Are they combined into a hybrid port that works with either protocol?
Nope, it has the RJ45 in the side and the RJ11 in the back
fourth try: just use a password manager at this time.
Then, same shit will hapen when entering the master password.

U are supposed to fix it, password manager, not join them!

Especially when your password gets reset after 3 fails like at my job, I DON’T want to deal with IT

This incident will be reported.
I get around this by setting my passwords to something easy to type like *******
Completely unrelated, does anybody know why my bank balance always goes back to 0 immediately after my paystubs are deposited?
First try: password manager
Job done
How do you use a password manager at desktop login
Use it on your phone, duh :P
Jokes aside I wish windows supported pin+hardware key to log in… But alas that’s an enterprise only thing.
Working from home, connecting to a VM, you can use a password manager on your machine to log into the VM
And your home machine can be always logged on, or fingerprint unlock, or USB stick unlock or whatever
You implant a chip in your brain that gives it control over your finger movement.
That would be weirdly secure
Until someone hacks your brain, or just puts a keyboard in front of you and lets the chip do its thing without your consent.
Unlock the password manager
EZ, no password on password manager.
[Points at head]
I just never slow down and take like 10 attempts sometimes. I don’t know why, it isn’t a good strategy
