>maximum password size is 8 characters

>>59364284
You don't

Generate long random passwords with a password manager like KeePass

Don't ever use a cloud password manager service, or upload your keyfile to the cloud

kind of an advanced method but i just use the same password for as many sites as possible this way i can usually guess it

>>59364284
use the same password for everything even my credit cards

>>59364284

Reusing passwords when you don't use a password manager is a good thing. But you must make sure to make access tiers. Don't use the same password for a service and the email that's registered to the said service. If you do this someone who gains access to the service won't be able to compromise other services via your email. Especially necessary for your finanace management where you probably risk the most. Another added measure is not reuse passwords for similar services if they can be detected via same account name or email.

i use my brain like normal people

This, I have 1 password with 3 safety tiers, each one adds something to tier1, for example tier2 adds symbols and tier3 adds another word. Makes it easy to remember.

what about using a code book?

How does sync .kdbx between devices?

>>59364296
isnt keepass a botnet?

>>59367192
No that's last pass. Keepass stores file on your machine. No internet access required.

>>59367178
I use syncthing to keep my database up to date between devices.

>>59367192
No you dipshit
It's nowhere near botnet, it's the exact opposite of botnet

I use Lastpass, which encrypts my passwords before they are uploaded.

>>59367741
yes I can also encrypt your passwords with my public key before getting them from you

>>59364284
With my memory

>>59367758

>unicode and control characters are allowed

>>59364284
id doesn't matter how long your password is, all hashes are almost equally hard to retrieve

>>59364612
>>59366134
I do something like this. Have been thinking of getting a password manager, don't know which one I should choose though.

>>59371242
whats the difference between Keepass X and XC?

>>59364284
You make a password and add certain codes to it. For websites it can be the first syllaby of that website.
Password123cha for example

>>59364296
/g/ never changes

You're a moron. Don't keep a list of your passwords, encrypted or not, on a machine connected to the internet.

>Why KeePassXC instead of KeePassX?
>KeePassX is an amazing password manager, but hasn't seen much active development for quite a while. Many good pull requests were never merged and the original project is missing some features which users can expect from a modern password manager. Hence, we decided to fork KeePassX to continue its development and provide you with everything you love about KeePassX plus many new features and bugfixes.
