It happens at the worst times, if it wasn't for post it notes I'd be dead.

Lol yeah. I lost an encrypted work archive with 6 months of Linux configuration and puppet work on it that way. It was super lame.

Keepass is your friend ☺

@CorruptComputer nice concept

@LMtx untill you realise they're stored in plain text.

@nicholai that is just a matter of implementation

@nicholai which doesn't matter, if the sites store public keys it doesn't matter

@Gogeta70 @AptFox
No, never let other people store passwords for you! You're better off with a text file inside a winrar with a decent password or even on a piece of paper

@eeeddr Keepass is software that runs locally on your computer and stores your passwords in an encrypted database.

@Gogeta70
I don't care how encrypted it is, if it was once encrypted, it can also be decrypted no matter how hard it is. And storing it on your computer means Malware can *easily* get it so no, I'd rather use my memory and in strict cases (too complex passwords) write it in a piece of paper and hide it somewhere in the house

@eeeddr To each their own, but your method is akin to hiding a plaintext file of your passwords on your computer.

@Gogeta70
It really isn't, since pieces of paper around MY house is nothing like a plain text file, since it's not possible to get that specific piece of paper unless you're in my house and know where it's at

@eeeddr Yes, there is a minor difference, but my point is that security through obscurity is widely acknowledged as the weakest form of security. Encryption ensures that only those with the key can access it and the data is only vulnerable when it is decrypted, malware is only a minor concern if you're conscious about security.

@Gogeta70
You can always do some sort of cipher before writing it down, but I don't believe in stored passwords, it just isn't my thing, encrypted or not encrypted

@eeeddr Storing your password in dead-tree format is still storing passwords 😎

But hey, it's your data, do as you please. I am simply defending my original point that encryption is a safe way of storing data.

Your brain wannacried itself

Password requirements are al the hints I need... Unfortunately most websites aren't very helpful :(

If your really that into it.

Either write out your password using mental encryption and store it in some sort of safe.

Or buy a small micro with no networking and program it to encrypt and decrypt your passwords and store that in some sort of safe.

But for the love of god do not use common password anything (storage, generators ect) of course this is only for people who really need security.

Also have like multiple factor authentication.
