On the subject of phone numbers, people get a laugh when I tell them my phone number for many years while a kid was literally 7.

It was an operator-based system so you'd pick up the phone and an operator would say "number please" like the 1940s. I'm not really *that* old, but it was a small isolated town so Bell Canada (the Canadian telephone monopoly) was happy to ignore us for a looong time.
I recall when they took out our phone system for an upgrade, it literally went to a museum. The new one was an office PBX so we all had 4-digit numbers like dialing people in your office.

I remember (nostalgia alert) perhaps my first phone call! I picked up the phone and said to the operator "can I talk to my mom please?"
That's funny enough, but I recall she knew who my mom was visiting and connected me to that person's house. lol

Sometimes I add 1960s phone numbers I still remember to my passwords…

@GustavinoBevilacqua they're well memorized already, so that's a good approach

Alas I can't use granny's number, 85694, for the SSH port
