Perhaps you want to get hired for your dream job, find your soulmate, or travel across the world. Through the power of the mind and a simple step, you can turn your dreams into reality.
Did you know that your passwords aren’t just for logging into your devices — but could also change your life? A social media hack has gone viral for its potential to help people manifest their dreams through including affirmations in their passwords, according to Bustle.
How to Use the Password Affirmation Hack
Vision boards, journaling, or looking at your reflection through a mirror and reciting mantras may come to mind when thinking about manifestation. However, there’s a far less time-consuming way to accomplish your goals. A manifestation hack is making its rounds on social media, where people are turning their passwords into mantras. Examples could include affirmations like “iamhappyandabundant111” or “iamworthyoflove111333.”
Since you enter passwords throughout the day whether it’s through logging into your work laptop or email — it provides a constant opportunity to take a moment to reflect on your goals.
In a TikTok video user @brittanysodoraleonor says she made her computer password her New Year’s Mantra. “Now every time I log in, I have to type in my vision word,” she said. “It’s such an easy way to consciously and subconsciously remind yourself of what you are trying to call into your life.”
The trick can work for affirmations on health, love, and abundance. Creator @winningwithbrittney says the hack can be used for career goals. “If you’re looking to get a raise, your password could be ‘thankyoufortheraise888’,” she said in a TikTok video.
Other users appeared to resonate with the message. In her comments, someone said, “When I was in university, I would always use passwords like BrandManager or Marketing... and that’s where I am now.”
So why is this technique so powerful? “You help supercharge your manifestation process by constantly reminding yourself of a new belief or idea,” says Missy Toy Ozeas, an energy healer. It’s also effective since daily reminders allow you to recognize new possibilities as they come up, and it also starts to feel like opportunities are already in your hands.

Repetition Makes Positive Thoughts More Automatic
There’s a psychological reason why the password manifestation technique could be so effective: repetition. “A password might seem like a small thing, but it’s something you type every day — probably multiple times,” says Mimi Bouchard, an author and thought leader. “When it’s a powerful affirmation, it becomes a subconscious imprint. You’re literally feeding your nervous system the message: ‘This is who I am now,’” Bouchard added.
Science may back this phenomenon. Positive affirmations work “almost like building a shortcut to the affirmative message in our minds,” Ms. Lisa Tang, a clinical psychologist, tells CNA. Each login makes the brain’s neural pathways stronger, causing the positive thought to be “more automatic” as time passes.
“Moreover, this repetition not only reinforces the affirmative message in our minds but also provides opportunities for positive self-talk," Tang added. Typing affirmations and mantras could be the key to unlocking your dreams and having a healthy relationship with yourself.
