Well, I use pwgen and gpg ┐(´ー｀)┌

A great thing about password managers is that you can change your passwords more often since you don't have to bother coming up with and remembering new passwords. It can even be somewhat automated with pass-rotate: https://github.com/ddevault/pass-rotate

I wrote a `pass` plugin [1] that works similarly to xkcdpass — but integrates it into a password manager. Makes usage far easier!
