I've been trying a password manager. How do you get around the fact that it requires you to put in your master password all the time? You just set it to not require that, or have a really long timeout? Or have a super easy to type master password?
- maxerickson 13y agoI just learn the passwords for frequently used accounts.
- Fargren 13y agoA long passphrase can be easy to remember(and type) and hard to crack.
- sorahn 13y agoI have 1Password and I have it set to only re-lock once my computer locks. Also my master password for 1P is long, but easy to type, so still fast. I usually if I'm a little stoned it takes me a few tries to get it...
- cschneid 13y agoI have a long sentence as my passphrase. 1password will stay unlocked for ~30 minutes (or when I close my computer), so I type it a few times a day. I've gotten very good at typing it, and can crank it out quickly. It's much much faster than opening my email, and waiting for SMTP & Gmail to get its act together.
- nolanl 13y agoI just increase the number of iterations (i.e. key-stretching), so that I can use a shorter password. It'll takes a second or two to actually log in, but that way I don't have to type so much.
