I've never trusted password managers. I write the unique portions of my passwords in a notepad and combine those with a common but unwritten alphanumeric sequence to form my full passwords.
- xur17 8y agoWhat happens if you lose your notepad?
- ben-schaaf 8y agoWhat if someone gets a series of leaked passwords from you, can they get back the alphanumeric sequence and brute force the unique portion? What happens if your notepad gets stolen, do you have backups?
- Causality1 8y agoThe uniques are quite long so good luck trying to brute force them. As for it being stolen, it doesn't leave my house. I've never been robbed but if I was I doubt they'd steal a small worn notepad sitting in a desk drawer.
- ben-schaaf 8y agoWhat about backups, do you just lose access to everything internet if the notebook is lost? What do you do when you need to access something when you're not at home?
- DanBC 8y agoThe question was about backups, not about what a thief would steal. What happens if your home burns down: do you have backups of the notebook?
