I run a commercial grade device at my home, but that is because I have children who are growing up and I run a tight ship vis-a-vis porn, social media, video screen time, and the like

Good, they'll learn early how to circumvent network blocks. It's a useful skill to have, should the government turn (more) oppressive.

Regarding password complexity, I have come up with something that is fun, hard to guess, easy to remember, and pretty secure.

 

Adjective Noun Adverb Verb

 

Like:

 

Silly salamander silently slithers

 

You can dress it up with 3 for e and @ for a, etc.  Sprinkle a little punctuation, and you've got a memorable but un-guessable password.

They'd be even harder to guess if you didn't tell everybody on the internet the pattern you use to generate them.

Maybe to get access to your email? Pretty much anyone will send a reset password link to your email. Your broker, your bank, your?

My bank does not send a simple password reset link. You have to phone them and provide a bunch of information to prove you are who you say, or visit a branch in person.
