This is and isn't bad advice. Writing your passwords down and storing them in your wallet isn't necessarily a good idea. You may be able to secure your wallet, but there may be somewhere better to secure it (such as a house safe).
Rather than writing the passwords down, use a decent tool like 1password (http://agilewebsolutions.com/onepassword http://agilewebsolutions.com/onepassword) or Keepass (http://keepass.info/ http://keepass.info/).
- joshkaufman 16y agoThis looks like a good way to generate the passwords you put into 1password or another similar password tool. If the tool fails, you can regenerate the passwords if you need to.
- MikeCapone 16y ago1Password has a random password generator. That's what I use.
- Legion 16y agoKeepass is brilliant and supported on Linux, Mac, and Windows. I have one super-strong password that I've memorized that encrypts my KeePass database, and then I use Keepass to generate and store random passwords for me.
- snes 16y agoNo one mentioned Lastpass? It has a multifactor grid authentication, which along with a user defined password, makes it secure enough for me. When I started using it, I changed most of my passwords to be 100 characters long. But many sites had a maximum 20 characters or equivalent rule.
