I use keepass with something like a 30 character password that I can remember with numbers and special characters, it already has things like autotype and copy paste and generates random secure passwords for sites I use which are then encrypted.
My eggs may be all in one basket but at least that basket is heavily protected while your solution seems less good than the alternatives that already exist.
- jwegan 16y agoI use a similar technique (although I didn't make a script for it). I fail to see how it is "less good" [sic]. My password for every website is unique (15+ characters, mix of character cases, special characters, etc), it is not stored anywhere other than my brian, and the pattern is not easily discernable. Furthermore I have two different patterns, one for high value sites and a different one for social networks/forums/other low value sites. With keeppass, someone with a keylogger on your machine can compromise all your passwords in one fell swoop.
