Kind of a secondary master password that's not stored anywhere except my memory and my safe.
Best of both worlds in my opinion.
- meruru 8y agoThat's really clever.
- peanutz454 8y agoThis is awesome! (I think). I've never used a password manager, because I was afraid one breach there is worse than many breaches everywhere else. But, I am curious, if I use a complex formula in my mind to create passwords that are unique to every website I visit, and I store those in Chrome am I not safe? The only problem I see is that I do not update passwords regularly.
- usrusr 8y agoIf that database in the browser ends up somewhere it should not, a curious attacker will have a nice list of examples to figure out the formula. I share your vulnerability and "password manager + brain-stored component" has been my unexecuted upgrade plan for many years.
