Every internet user has so many passwords that the age of trying to remember passwords is over. You pretty much either have to reuse passwords (dumb) or use a password manager. Given that any technically literate person will choose the latter option, grammatical passphrases provide no benefit over random characters.
- TBastiani 12y agoEvery so often, for instance when I am setting up my password manager on a new device I find myself reading the password from one device and typing it on the next. This would make that process much easier/saner. The password is effectively much easier to read in and type back.
- psychometry 12y agoWhat kind of off-brand password manager doesn't let you transfer your password database to a new device? You should only ever need to remember/type in the master password.
- TBastiani 12y agoKeepassX. And I'd actually rather handle password-file sharing myself as I'm not super comfortable with everyone having access to my password-file even though it's encrypted. Also the fact that my main platforms are Linux and Android removes quite a lot of options as far as password managers go.
- pavel_lishin 12y agoDo you mean that you store the password to your password manager in another password manager?
- TBastiani 12y agoNo, I don't. But I share my password-file over dropbox and my dropbox password is managed by my password manager. So, sort-of, I guess.
