This is why usually these trigger-passwords are just a variation suffix away. If your real password was 123456 + Ok a system like that would trigger if you e.g. append a certain sign to it: 123451 + Ok. So you don't have to remember a different password, you just have to remember the one character or button that makes it call security.



Maybe using a prefix would be better. Similar ease of remembering it but you won't have to fight your muscle memory at the end of the password.
