Just use "incorrect". That way if you forget it the page will tell you that "Your password is incorrect"
Problem solved.

What do you do if it tells you your password is invalid?
If you think 'goto' is evil, try writing an Assembly program without JMP.

Dang programmers. They can never stick to the standard.

I have an awful memory and I don't write things down. So I don't remember them I just have to reset them every few days.

"All my passwords ".
True, that.
Likewise, all my passwords ends with ...
"with ... "
True, that.

Regulatory requirements: minimum 15 characters, changed every 60 days; currently three domains, soon to be four. If you don't have a system, you're screwed.

Oeh.. so you don't know yet if there's a MAXIMUM for the password length?

No post it notes... just develop a system.

I use a salted hash of the domain names. The program then adds 2 special characters to the first 16 hashed hex numbers and copies the 18 characters into the clipboard. So when I input "amazon" I get a fairly powerful password that is never stored nor known, but easily available to be pasted when needed.

I put this as a reply to other comment, but I will put it here also.
This is a good point of view about passwords:
"Through 20 years of effort, we've successfully trained everyone to use passwords that are hard for humans to remember, but easy for computers to guess."

Now I know your password:
"Correct Horse Battery Staple"?

nah!! I use whole quotes, poems, or chemistry forms...
The point was that sometimes the password enforcement rules actually makes loopholes, as the people don't always remember those passwords. As the example, just 4 random words are more secure that P@ssw0r123$

It is actually here in a Code Project Article[^].
I use this one also.

I also do. As most of my family.

I use the portable version on a thumb drive. Works just about anywhere there is a Windows computer.

Used it too until I forgot my KeePass password and gave up on it.

I always memorized several shorter passwords to create large passwords.
I think I'll try the encrypted file technique, and use the scattered paper technique to store the key.

Missing that alternative, and multiple choice.
|
|
|
|
|
Considering the top choice now (Memorize), how 'bout:
How complex/diverse are your passwords:
-- Same single-case word everywhere.
-- different single-case word everywhere.
-- same upper/lower/number password everywhere
-- differnt upper/lower/number password everywhere
Truth,
James
