Answer 1

Favourite answer

"Se prendre la tête" (literally" to take one's own head"), means "to overthink something", "to make it unnecessarily complicated", or "to get excessively frustrated with something".

Here, the sentence is about using a password manager to be able to use strong password without having to rack your brain every time you need it.

To create stronger passwords, without racking your brains, I recommend the use of a password generator.

Answer 3

I would think it mean something like hurting your head by trying to memorize all the passwords. Many things are not directly translatable.
