This doesn't address the key issue of how many "in head" horcruxes you want to have. Is it one and the same for all passwords? Then two broken passwords reveals it (if someone's clever maybe even 1, not sure here). If it's different for different passwords, you now need to memorize (or store elsewhere) a list of many, many such horcruxes. Not 7... but maybe a 100 or 200 to be practical for a heavy user of internet apps. Which basically means you need 2 password managers.
So where do I store the 100 horcruxes?
What's your take on this?
- _wldu 6y agoI have about 400 DPG passwords all stored in my head. https://github.com/62726164/dpg https://github.com/62726164/dpg

- posix_me_less 6y agoYou can store them on a keyring or in a wallet.
- methodsignature 6y agoA 2nd password manager for the 2nd part of the password breaks maybe the key advantage of this mechanism by putting the "something you know" into a decryptable by design storage space that is most likely duplicated in the cloud.
