Errr, ...yes!
- bluetidepro 14y agoI already do to an extent but come on, you can't tell me you use a completely unique password for EACH of the HUNDREDS of sites that use passwords? That just seems ridiculous, or maybe it's just me...
- lparry 14y ago1Password (https://agilebits.com/onepassword https://agilebits.com/onepassword) is your friend
- Wilya 14y agoThere are quite a few ways to automate that. Lastpass, Keepass, KeepassX, 1Password, ...
- pault 14y agoSalt the password with characters from the url. Maybe your password is P4ssw0rd, so your HN password is Py4csosw0rd. I've been using this scheme for years, works great!
- kristofferR 14y agoGet LastPass (it's free and totally safe since it's client-side encrypted), but if you don't want that you can just use SuperGenPass. http://lastpass.com/ http://lastpass.com/ http://supergenpass.com/ http://supergenpass.com/
- DannoHung 14y agoPay for Lastpass. They're fucking awesome. Wish they'd add a system for private/public key storage though.
- dredmorbius 14y agoI do just that. Between work and personal, roughly 130 password/account pairs. I may be missing a few. I also don't believe in gratuitously creating accounts simply to make use of some site (information has value, including and often particularly, identifying information). I'll make use of BugMeNot and/or create throwaway accounts using Mailinator for one-offs.
- mun2mun 14y agoFor this reason Facebook connect/Twitter login are becoming popular. 1password, lastpass, keypass etc are not that popular among casual users.
