You Should Know
YSK - for all the things that can make your life easier!
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must begin with YSK.
All posts must begin with YSK. If you're a Mastodon user, then include YSK after @youshouldknow. This is a community to share tips and tricks that will help you improve your life.
Rule 2- Your post body text must include the reason "Why" YSK:
**In your post's text body, you must include the reason "Why" YSK: It’s helpful for readability, and informs readers about the importance of the content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-YSK posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.

Just don't ever forget your password to said Lemmy instance because you won't be able to reset it.
Also be aware that sometimes the decision to reset the password is not done on your side. Sometimes due to attacks or similar website owners might decide a forced reset and that might require the email.
I had a scare when i went to setup 2fa, I guess i only copied the last digits of the link thinking all I needed were the numbers and then I couldnt sign in, luckily I still had an open tab with my account signed in and was able to redo the 2fa before being completely signed out, with no email on the account I would have had to start over
Are there really people out there not using a password manager in current year?
Yes, my dad, I created an account for him on my Vaultwarden instance, and hardly doubt he gets to use it.
You would be surprised.  I work at a IT helpdesk at a university and I think 90% of all students don't know what password manager is. Many have them "stored" in the notes in the smartphone.
Many people don't like putting their eggs in one basket. Which I get. But imo as long as you're properly securing everything as well as you can, most decent passwords managers are trustworthy enough.
I'm personally deeply skeptical, even if it's from one of the most secure companies I would have a heart attack if I hear it's hacked.
I personally just use pen and paper, two copies, and try to do variations or new passwords for things I care about and then one common password for useless things with no credit card info.
KeepassXC is encrypted locally with no public servers :)
When I first set up my password DB I forgot my master password. Fortunately that didn't happen on my second. I still have the locked first db.
Oh wow, thanks for letting us know. 😩
