this has worked well for me for years. keepassx.org

Just use plain pass in your terminal and install the pass-ff addon in Firefox for browser integration. Sync your .password-store directory with syncthing and you're good to go
Aaron Bailey
use lowercase, upercase, numeral and special characters in your password and store them using keepass or it's derivatives like you fucking potato.
Nolan Smith
I just remember them
Isaac Thompson
Fuck yes. KeepassXC and Keepass DX forever. The only reason I use Dropbox, which is a bit silly.
Noah Cox
I write them on paper and keep them in my house. By the time anyone could get to them they also have physical access to my PC, in which case I'm fucked anyway.

Just fucking REMEMBER THEM
Zachary Green
Better a single point of failure with good encryption and a secure password than using simple (easy to break) passwords or repeating them (meaning that one insecure service fucks your accounts on many services). And there's no way to remember unique secure passwords for every service you use.
Tyler Jenkins
I use different passwords on every service and can remember all of them. Just use related passwords, it helps
Robert Sullivan
And your passwords are less secure than 32+ pseudorandom characters.
single point of failure only matters if you don't make backups of the database and/or have Alzheimer's and forget the master key.

It's like $50 on Amazon. Seems like a worthwhile investment for us tinfoil hats.
Hudson Ortiz
And here's an idea. Can't you combine a normal password and the input of your password manager? Would prevent the single point of failure problem.

If you have a functioning brain you should remember your damn passwords. Don't use a wheelchair if you don't need one

LOL

I have hundreds of passwords which are random sequences of often more than 32 characters and they are sometimes changed as often as every six months or so. The encrypted password database is synced on four computers, two of them with ZFS disk mirror filesystems (high integrity). Less recent versions of the database are also typically stored on an external USB hard drive and a flash (thumb) drive. It is an effective setup that has worked well for several years.

But wheelchair is comfy.
Jeremiah Bell
isn't a piece of paper a good option if am not fearful of losing it and i don't fear anyone in the house finding it?
i don't trust any of those "save your password online all in a single spot" services.

How do I "use" plain pass in my terminal? I am learning to use LXTerminal so I can eventually >use everything in the terminal

Firefox sync.
