Using spaced repetition apps with 1Password to help you memorise passwords without storing them in plaintext: https://boinkor.net/2018/11/memorizing-passwords-with-anki-1password/ Cute idea, although ideally a password manager minimises the memorisation necessary. It's a nice example of composing apps though.

Memorizing passwords with Anki & 1Password

Recently, I started using Anki, a spaced repetition scheduler1, a lot to learn French using the Fluent Forever method, and while there have been setbacks, it’s been a pretty great experience overall. It seems to be super useful for memorizing and retaining all sorts of information! Since I have to memorize all sorts of passwords (phone unlock code, laptop login password, gym locker combination), why not use 1Password to help me retain them? Why not, indeed!
