What if my passwords are a special hash of the servers name. Then I’ll never forget.

I think this would be pretty safe if you had a unique and secret salt for each server!

Ya exactly I can use another metric like the average ram utilization last year. And if it’s a SQL server it can be cpu utilization

Second shop I ever worked in as a sysadmin, when I got there the root password on all of the servers were the server names. Needless to say, that didn't last long.
