If you are trying to remember your passwords, you are doing it wrong.
|
|
Trying to remember your passwords is absolutely fatal and has numerous
|
|
disadvantages. To describe the demerits of trying to remember your
|
|
passwords, here is a cycle that most people follow. You set a password.
|
|
You forget it. You set a weaker password. And repeat.
|
|
|
|
Eventually, people have passwords that are not only weak, but they also
|
|
never change them unless they forget them. This leads to passwords that
|
|
are short and easy to crack. Worst of all, people continue this habit on
|
|
sensitive websites like finance or government services.
|
|
|
|
The solution to this issue? As always, \textbf{a password manager.} You
|
|
do not have to be an absolute genius to navigate around password
|
|
managers or use them securely. Memorize a strong
|
|
\href{../pwd}{\textbf{password system}}, not a lone password. Use the
|
|
password system on your password manager and on accounts where you
|
|
absolutely know that you will not have access to a password manager.
|
|
|
|
\emph{"What password manager do I use?"}
|
|
|
|
\begin{enumerate}
|
|
\tightlist
|
|
\item
|
|
\href{https://www.bitwarden.com/}{Bitwarden} (for non-techies)
|
|
\item
|
|
\href{https://keepass.info/}{KeePass}(for techies)
|
|
\end{enumerate}
|
|
|
|
Bitwarden is straightforward and intuitive. It is on the internet so it
|
|
is less secure than password managers that are completely offline like
|
|
KeePass. However, it is still much more secure than proprietary password
|
|
managers like LastPass and NordPass. Everything is
|
|
\href{../definitions/free-software/}{free (libre) and open-source
|
|
software.}
|
|
|
|
KeePass, on the other hand, is much more advanced. It is completely
|
|
offline, so you need something like Syncthing to sync it to all of your
|
|
devices. This is my current setup of which \href{../kpst/}{you can read
|
|
here.} It is state-of-the-art. I generate 999-character passwords with
|
|
extended ASCII so my passwords contain symbols like ©æ\^{} and much
|
|
more. These passwords have entropies above 10000 bits. For reference, an
|
|
81-bit password costs about \$1B to crack.
|
|
|
|
All in all, you should stop remembering your passwords. The human brain
|
|
is not designed for long-term storage. Let computers that are infinitely
|
|
better than humans in that regard do the hard work for you.
