Because
1) Over the years it ends up being much more than 20 passwords. Bank accounts, credit cards, stock trading accounts, web servers, email accounts, IRA accounts, bitcoin passwords/keys, all kinds of work passwords, evernote, etc. I have more than 50 records in KeePass.
2) If you want secure passwords, they must be long (20 characters minimum) and random. Remembering something like that is nearly impossible for me. Once I started using KeePass, I feel way more secure than with my older scheme.
- yeukhon 13y agoThe issue is not about remembering password or how difficult the password is to guess, is how responsible one is as a user. Don't sign up hundreds of accounts. I only have one bank so that's just one password. Relying on another software to take care of security like this is not a good solution to me.
