- nkrisc 2y agoAh, so they’re all conveniently located on sticky notes attached to monitors?
- JohnFen 2y agoHonestly, a sticky note on a monitor is more secure than what a lot of people actually do. At least there, physical access is required to obtain your credentials. But what I do is use an offline password manager on my phone. Yes, I have to actually read and type in the passwords that I don't have memorized, but it's a small inconvenience to get an additional security gain. Plus, it's out of the reach of IT.
- nkrisc 2y ago> Honestly, a sticky note on a monitor is more secure than what a lot of people actually do. That's not really saying much. It's still very dumb and insecure.
- speckx 2y agoMy friend's father used a notebook for all logins and passwords, he used phrases for most with some exceptions. He started doing this before password managers were a thing in the late 90s. When he died a few years ago, his family had access to everything.
