Password Manager

Get around to using one :P

I only remember my password to my PW manager, which additionally is encrypted with a key file to increase security.

The rest of my PWs are 128 character long random generated PWs, with capitals, numbers, special characters etc..
- Yep. Several years ago I switched and it took a little getting used to. But now I would not want it any other way. The plugins in the browsers make it convenient and also a proper app on your mobile and you are set to go. Click on a password field and then you can click on the plugin to fill the fields.
- I wish all my passwords were 128 characters. Most sites won't allow anything that complex. Because apperantly making the password hash field longer is hard /s
- Where do you keep the key file and the PW managers DB? I feel like they would be too much side-by-side to really increase security in my case
  
  I won't disclose where I store mine.
  
  But I'd recommend to:
  
  Not backup your PW manager's database + key file in the same location
  (That would decrease security, x1 data breach would allow them to easily brute force your PW DB since they'll have the key)
  
  Not go with a PW manager that does not allow you to choose a location where you desire to backup to (Seen plenty of mainstream PW managers getting data breached by now, so going with a cloud, which is not solely used for PW managers, has an advantage imo, since they tend to be less targeted by hackers)
  
  I've been happily using KeeWeb + Keepass2Android for years now:

  Can always use a service like bitwarden, even their free tier is very good
  
  You could use a USB drive that you only ever plug in to open the password manager. It's not the most secure option but it's a bit better than no key file at all.
  
  @mormund I used to store them in a paper notebook, away from the prying eyes of malware and other shenanigans. Now I also have them in a password manager for easy access in case I need them, if the account supports 2FA TOTP.

- I have tried to use a password manager like 3 separate times now and can never seem to get the hang of it
If you recognise yourself from this meme, please get a password manager.

- but then you still have to remember your vault password lol
  
  It's hunter2
  
  Yes, but only one (in principle)
  
  That's why you write it on a piece of paper
Use a password manager, its way better. I use KeePass and sync the database across devices with syncthing.
- KeePass is a password manager
  
  Astute observation
We need BitWarden running up with shocking paddles.
Why did you title this "Was it ******* or ******"?
All my passwords are 12345. Makes it easier to remember.
- 12345?? That's amazing, I've got the same combination on my luggage!
- That's the kind of thing an idiot would have on his luggage!
Use bitwarden with a yubikey so you can double forget all of them quicker
I really appreciate that one last look Tom gives, it's the same way I look at the already decomposing carcass of my fancy new password, as if 'I will surely remember you'.
This T&J episode traumatized me as a kid.
"Simbaaaaa"
Good thing you saved it in your password manager first
