Someone will just beat the password out of you.

You should know how secure my password is, it's *******
>>
>>61670502
I use words from old languages and random combinations of caps words letters and symbols mixed in until I a least get a 30 word long password.
I store it on a piece paper taped to my monitor

You're fucked now buddy

It's got mixed casing, special characters, quite a few numbers and it's fairly easy to remember. It's secure enough

i don't use a master password, that's stupid

nice try cia

I just use RSA keys whenever I can.

Im thinking of getting a keyfob for 2fa. just keep it plugged into my pc at all times and unplug when I want to lock it.

If I have to use a typed in password I use min 10 quasi-random characters.

I will memorize a pattern on the keyboard but spell nothing. Makes it hard to tell someone my password tho because I actually dont know what my password is, I just know the pattern I type and when to hold shift.

hello friends my pasword it spider12

>>61670502
just use some sentence made up of your own
like "Hold the newsreader’s nose squarely, waiter, or friendly milk will countermand my trousers."
obviosly not that but something like that, gnome sayin'?

even worse when you have a long fucking passed that you forget
>>
>>61670502
newpass.sh "(username|email)&site" 15
#!/usr/bin/env bash
echo "$1" >> /home/baka/.pass
head -c"$2" /dev/urandom | base64 >> /home/baka/.pass


dotfiles, for anyone really, should be enough obscurity for password storage

then just do
cat .pass | grep -A 1 "site"

to get the username or email and the password for a given site
>>
>>61671804
You're such a smart guy! I wish I was you.
>>
>>61670502

i "build" my passwords over time.

For example, my full disk encryption password started out as a 20 characters long password. When I got comfortable tryping that shit out, I added another 10 characters, and added more when I got comfortable typing that.

I'm currently at 55 character long password and it's really easy to type now
>>
>>61672247
you know you can supply a filename to grep instead of unnecessarily using cat, right?

>>61672337
yeah but its not as cool as to pipe cat to grep
>>
>>61671822
brainlets in this board won't realize that this is actually a very strong password and it will take ages to crack through bruteforce.
>>
>>61670502
on a somehow related note, I'm going to be studying how random a given random number is two full semesters next year. hoping to publish something at the end of it

I use the same 3 passwords for everything and I struggle to remember them as is. I can't afford to further complicate things.
>>
>>61672605
when you use software like keepass, you only need to remember one password

>piping cat
>cool
grep -A 1 "site" < .pass

cat is almost always useless unless you actually use it to concatenate.

hm I have something like this

ienrfvbienrf15uj,elrfdfghtktytpf,elrf

best way making password is to use some other language and type in some nonsense phrase with inclusion of numbers
>>
>>61670502
100 digits long,it's very secure.
>>
>>61670502
Not particularly because I have nothing of value behind a username and password.
>>
30 characters, numbers, lower/upper -case and other symbols. about 310 bits of entropy
>>
>>61673305
By any chance, does it begin with 314159265358?
