    I chose to not encrypt my SSDs as I don’t want to forget the password and lose all my data. But now I have an external backup I’m fine encrypting them.

      I would love to see something like macOS’s FileVault encryption. It completely blends in with the login screen and your decryption password is your user password.

      Use a password manager. And create a passphrase type password for it so it’s easier to remember. Then you will have a unique password for everything, while only needing to remember one of them. And since you will use it daily, it’s impossible to forget.

        I do use a password manager, but I can’t use it for signing into a machine, just signing into other things once I’m already logged in. I usually do remember my password, but there was an incident when I changed my password because I thought someone had guessed it, and then forgot what I had changed it to and was only able to recover my data because my SSDs were not encrypted
