I know several people who are in arranged marriages, and while they are happy enough with the situation, all of them have very clearly said they will never do this to their children, so take from that what you will.

Introduction is common enough I’d say, but any expectation beyond maybe talking to them is not.

As for what most people do: it’s just going about life and meeting people. Join clubs, talk to people in your community, at work or school, friends of friends (or family friends, again introducing is common enough, anything beyond that isn’t), even bars works; anywhere really.

Just don’t go places to find a partner; go to places to meet people. From there meet the ones you like more often, make friends, and over time you’ll bump into people and find the right ones. This is one of those things that happens more the less you “try”. Be open to the idea, but let people get to know you as a friend first.

Longer is always better, but a fully random password will always be stronger than a “memorable” password of equal length.

You need exactly one memorable password, and that should be the one to your password manager, maybe two if you need to log into your device first. From there everything else should be long and random. Hell, with most of them you don’t ever even need to know your own passwords, the tool just handles them itself.

XKCD has it right that you need length over complexity, but it’s also from 2011. Today, we very easily can and should get both.

Passwords should be like bad experiences.

The more you remember the worse they were.
