Zero for me. No Netflix or anything here, I’m not into subscription based services.

But if you do have subscription based services, what might be the better ones out there?

    VPN, password manager, I think that’s it?

    Edit for reading comprehension: Mullvad, Dashlane. I’m sold on the former, open to ideas on the latter.

      Huh? Password manager as a paid subscription service?

      I just use the goop between my ears to remember my passwords.

          Me too.

          Dihydrogen Oxide + Sodium Ferrocyanide + Ferric Ammonium Sulfate = ❔

          I’m not even a fucking chemist LOL, nor is the answer to that question in any way related to my actual password, but I’ll give you an upvote if you can figure out what color that makes…

          Write a story you will never forget about whatever service. Like ‘when h is Y and won I; I would rather die than use google as a service.’ = “1wouldratYerd1etYanusegoogleasaserv1ce.”

          I used to do that with Buying for bike shops where I had a bunch of accounts all over the place. I kept mental track of the starting key so that I knew my password rotation and history. I kept a hints book, but did not need it.

            I could see that working. The great thing about password managers is that your codes are always intensely random and secure. The bad thing is that once you’re into them, it would take several hours of work to make them all into something a human can memorise.

        You must not be using very strong passwords, then… Or somehow only have a few accounts.

        But given that every site out there requires an account to use these days that sounds dubious

          I memorized π to 50 decimal places and also the alphabet backwards at age 10. Neither are my passwords BTW, but yeah my passwords can be and indeed are cumbersome. But the harder it is to spell, the easier it is for me to remember, oddly enough.

          Once upon a time my password was my Windows 98 product key, 25 otherwise random characters. Yes that password has long since been retired.

            I have around 600 entries in my password manager for accounts created since the 2000’s till today. Following best security practices all entries should have different random passwords between them. Pretty sure any normal human being wouldn’t remember them all.

      I find that KeePassXC works great for if you don’t mind not being able to sync passwords that easily. You don’t have to pay a subscription for it.
