Hello
I have decided to buy Xenforo today, and I am going to try to install it myself.
(I am computer literate I have a website I set up using HTML (notepad++) and CSS
But I am not up with any of the progarmming languages.

When Installing Xenforo, one needs access to a webhost, a FTP client, a SQL database etc.
There are so many usernames and passwords required.
What is a good system for chosing usernames and passwords?
 
I use the power of my mind.

How hard can it be to remember gt6#%6t5Ec3"3Ai8,8aDswE3?`5Appppo76:'xxxxxxx-9 ?

Damn!
I need a new password now :(
Really easy to be able to make a new password as long as you remember that your password manager's password, which is:
bc8278k1Ew0'2Ne3:6vKqvL9!"2Lssssw54_!yyyyzzz+5
 
Its a real jungle out there

Being serious for a moment, use a password manager, or a file on Google Drive (or any cloud) - just make sure the file is password protected ;)
 
I use 1Password and just let it generate random passwords for everything.

These are not passwords you need to remember - generate something random, store it in a password manager and move on.
 
I should use a "password manager" instead of having everything stored in text files.

Absolutely. It will save you a heap of time, and is far more secure.

I currently have 1,258 items in my 1Password vault.

That's pruned down from over 1,500 - I went through and got rid of the passwords for all the old systems / databases / forums I no longer use.
