I'm not a cat i swear
I only know how to type my passwords at normal speed correctly. Like, I have to walk through the muscle memory step by step to get a text version of the password and even that's iffy.

In the rare occasions that my wife needs to use my phone, I need to type my (12 digit) pincode out on a number pad and read it back to her to be sure I get it right. I can type it flawlessly a dozen times a day but if I try to recite it, I screw up the order.
I hate when I try to remember my master password without typing it and panic that I've forgotten my password. But when I got to type it, muscle memory is still there so no problem.
I have absolutely no clue what my highschool locker combination is, but I guarantee you if you handed me the lock, I could open it first or second try. That muscle memory is burned deep into my hands, and it's been over 10 years.
Two RJ ports on a laptop? Some of us are lucky to get one!
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?

This incident will be reported.
Fourth try: total motion blur
Trust the muscle memory.
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
Not seen Nagato in a while
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!
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
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
