Thanks for the feedback! I'll be sure to use non-printing characters instead of emojis for my passwords! (They can't guess it if it's invisible right?)

In all seriousness, why are people so adverse to using password managers? People are plenty willing to use the browsers built-in "remind my password" instead of a proper password solution such as bitwarden... And they come up with such "hacks" just to avoid using a proper length password.
