Can't you just have two passphrases and alternate between them ?

[–] taiyang@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

Nope, has to be new and unique every time. Their system keeps every password I've ever had, which if you think of it, is a really bad liability if they're hacked.

For me, no. Can't be the same or too similar to the past 4-5 passwords and has to be 14 characters long.
