I don't know about the grand parent, but personally I store that one in my brain. It's about 32 (maybe more?) characters and quite complex, but it's the only passphrase I need to use regularly so it's etched into my mind.
- alyandon 13y agoYou don't even need to have a pass phrase that long with KeePass. It allows you to set the number of rounds of encryption to perform to make brute forcing even short master passwords infeasible. Of course, that assumes the master password is chosen such that it isn't susceptible to your typical dictionary/hybrid-dictionary attacks.
- snowwrestler 13y agoSame here. I also require a key file for KeePass. It's not encrypted, but it's just one more thing a bad guy would have to acquire to get in.

A four-number code used regularly for over ten years. Just gone like that. Your memory is a SPOF, and while generally robust for this sort of thing, it's not bulletproof.
