My passwords are all in the form of "salt + 4 digits", where the salt is only known to me. I keep lists of the useless-without-the-salt 4 digit numbers in several places.
- donohoe 8y agoI've done that too and its been great until now. I would say that while I am looking for an alternative that works for "me", I'm also thinking of approaches (like this - or apps) that would work for my kids.
- muzani 8y agoI used to do this, but there are always a few leaked passwords - shared with colleagues, password for my PC shared with wife, companies that store plaintext passwords, things like the Adobe leak. It's quite easy to guess once they do have the salt. I just do this as a minimum security alternative to calling my password "password"
