Yes. I use a 22 character password composed of mixed-case alphanumerics and symbols. I generate a new password for every single website I have an account with, no matter how onerous the process or insignificant the account.
Later this year I am considering transitioning every single account to its own email address on my domain as well. But I recognize that's a tad paranoid. Perhaps only the most valuable accounts.
I recommend 1Password. I don't think there has ever been a major security breach with 1Password, and when I reported a minor cryptographic flaw they were very quick to respond to me and plan a fix for it, despite the threat model being relatively small.
- deepfriedbits 11y agoI also favor this approach and 1Password sure makes it, if not easy, then certainly tolerable. The only thing I'd add is that there are some websites with weird length and character rules, so sometimes you must tweak your password generator for smaller lengths (you won't be able to use 22-character passwords everywhere) and fewer "special characters" (non-alpha-numeric in this case).
- Namrog84 11y agoDo you work in a security related environment or just enthusiastic about privacy and security? I like 1password. Do I keep it open all day every time I want to grab something? What about phone or not at home? Accessible online anywhere? Just curious for how I should use it.
