I don't read it out loud but iny head, and try to find a pattern out of it like a pair of two number/character

I do this. It’s fascinating how most numbers seem to have a (subjective) pattern of some kind; I wouldn’t have thought so many 2- and 3-digit numbers have some meaning to me!

That's so true.

Being bi-lingual I also remember vastly better the 2FA code if I speak it in my native tongue.

I now always announce out loud when I've taken my medication for the day. For some reason it's just easier to remember when you say stuff out loud versus just thinking it.

I was inspired by the success of "point and call" from the Tokyo train system.

I have a tendency to lock the door when I leave the apartment, go down a flight of stairs, and then go back up to check if I really locked the door. Saying "I've locked the door" to myself in my head explicitly helps with this.

I form a quick 'jingle' in my head, retains the numbers very well.

That's a neat trick, especially in emergency situations.

0118 999…

Unfortunately the jingle for me is always Tommy Tutone's Jenny.

Then it's stuck in my head the rest of the day. I won't type the numbers from the chorus to spare you this fate.
