In another thread, there was a minor debate about password managers, so I wanted to ask /g/ what they thought.
I use a password manager for all my important passwords, with a complex master key that I've memorized. My database is on a private server that syncs between my phone and my laptop.

Do you think this is safer, or less secure, than the more common methods such as password journals, using passwords that you custom make for the website (#PassW0rd!Google), or other methods?

Thanks for the new Twitter Password:

Does this mean you’re going to make love to me tonight, Christian?” Holy shit. Did I just say that? His mouth drops open slightly, but he recovers quickly.
“No, Anastasia it doesn’t. Firstly, I don’t make love. I fuck… hard. Secondly, there’s a lot more paperwork to do, and thirdly, you don’t yet know what you’re in for. You could still run for the hills. Come, I want to show you my playroom.”
My mouth drops open. Fuck hard! Holy shit, that sounds so… hot. But why are we looking at a playroom? I am mystified.
“You want to play on your Xbox?” I ask. He laughs, loudly.
“No, Anastasia, no Xbox, no Playstation. Come.”… Producing a key from his pocket, he unlocks yet another door and takes a deep breath.
“You can leave anytime. The helicopter is on stand-by to take you whenever you want to go, you can stay the night and go home in the morning. It’s fine whatever you decide.”
“Just open the damn door, Christian.”
He opens the door and stands back to let me in. I gaze at him once more. I so want to know what’s in here. Taking a deep breath I walk in.
And it feels like I’ve time-traveled back to the sixteenth century and the Spanish Inquisition.
Holy fuck.

You got a pretty solid setup, just make sure you don't expose that server to external connections.

Problem with passwords derived in a predictable manner "so you don't have to remember or write them down" is that if your algorithm is discovered, every password derived in that manner is compromised

that's trash. your "complex master key" can be brute forced offline in minutes these days.

>tfw apparently people can brute force 200+bits of entropy in minutes now
So since the NSA usually has orders of magnitudes more computing power, does that mean AES256 is insecure now?

How about a long but easy to remember pepper you'd combine with the site name and hash securely? You can login on any machine which has a convenient way to hash things, and nobody who obtains your password will bother trying to break it just because it kinda looks like a hash.
