- lionkor 2y agostart using very high entropy passwords which contain just about all printable ascii characters, excluding whitespace. If a computer cant guess it, it won't crack the hash, either. Use a password manager and make those suckers 20-40 characters. Use a master key that is just a super long phrase interleaved with special characters. Easy to remember. Like titles of books you like, plus authors, plus something only you know. Stuff like that. I use a version of KeePass, with the actual file synced via syncthing to all devices plus a cloud.
