    Typing in my computer password is pretty much just muscle memory at this point than consciously remembering the password (yes, I should probably be rotating the password). Part of me thinks that some usecases of passwords or pins could be replaced with “pass-gestures,” like pattern unlock on phones.

      For my local computer password, it will likely be the same pattern until I die. For Internet services I just use a password manager. Local accounts don’t seem like a major attack vector as they once were. Maybe I’m wrong about that though.
