   @bhaugen @liaizon @serapath @cryptix Verbatim, including capitalisation, exact spellings and word forms, punctuation etc.? And in addition it's a long and complex enough sequence to not be part of some existing corpus (i.e. a quotation of some sort).

     @liaizon @serapath @cryptix
     Between a long string of random characters including random numbers and symbols, and a sentence with some meaning, I think I could remember the sentence (or even a sequence of words) better. No?

     @serapath @bhaugen @cryptix this is also a HORRIBLE solution, devs: please dont do this. people have trouble with remembering passwords already, expecting people to remember a sentence worth of words is badddd

     @bhaugen @liaizon @cryptix

     just use a seed phrase like in true peer to peer systems.

     keet uses 24 words and is a p2p messenger app. wallets use the same approach.

     any p2p social network could do it as well and they exist for a long time, longer than mastodon and the fediverse.

     mastodon was initially released 2016

     By that time ssb and dat and others existed already and so did wallets

     @cryptix I do not think 2 factor (2 computers) is an solution at all.

     @liaizon I don’t like it either but expecting/teaching people to use proper passwords sadly also didn’t work out... SMS and EMail 2FA doesn’t cut it either.

     logging into things has become such a nightmare, why oh why did we popularize the notion that you need 2 computers to login to something? this is the extent that the capitalist mind worm has burrowed deep enough into programmers subconscious
