For me, it helps to enter the passwords from time to time. The easiest way to do this is to reboot.
If you have moral issues with rebooting a system where rebooting is not necessary, maybe run just the password checker, e.g. by unlocking a second volume that has the same password, or something.
- phyzome 10y agoI would probably forget my FDE passphrase if my laptop did not have a processor fault causing it to spontaneously reboot every couple weeks (particularly in hotter weather.)
- clarry 10y agoI've recently gotten in the habit of writing passwords (or at least a part of them) down in a notebook. There are just too many passwords to remember, some of which I use very very rarely. I don't trust any password managers running on a networked computer or (gasp) phone, so paper is good for me. Plus it's more reliable.
