I'd have a sufficiently complex password. I picked up starting to use a password generator based on a master password, which then gives you as complex a password as you want.

Example: Let's say my password was 'kitten' (my passwords are far more complex, but oh well) and i do it here on gog, i get 2hk)a[P*@9z1xY2peXOX/K|"6kGv%h as a password, which i can always regenerate from my master password.

You aren't going to brute force that...

Does this password generator create a unique password for each site/login, based on the same master password?
Can you provide a link? :)

Yes and yes. --Link--

However keep in mind you do have to add in the information of the site location, which augments the result. So for GoG i'd put in the site name (not automatic), and it hashes it out. I tried out several and this one seems the best so far. Although i do recall a good one for a plugin for FireFox back in 2012 but with versions of Firefox constantly changing and breaking features, i doubt i could rely on that, while this i can use on everything, so long as i can copy/paste. (Note, your clipboard copy will self-delete after like 10 seconds, so you won't have long to paste it)

Now if you are on a site/location that will REQUIRE that you change your password every 90 days (I recall a business that did that), appending/changing the input parameter would give you a new password, then you'd just remember say 'kitten' and 4 or _4 or _four or whatever way you kept track of that. Much easier than generating a new unique password every time (which everyone fails at, i've got like 4 good passwords). But i still recommend having a strong 10-15 character password as your master password.

edit: Although i'm tempted to try making my own based on my blockshuffle encryption to create passwords. So far the encryption seems more useful for RNG... At least until it's proven cryptographically secure, which is doubtful.

I've used password managers for years now. There are plenty of them out there.
