I save each password in a plain text file, with the name of the website as the filename. I keep them all in an encrypted virtual drive.

That is a backup, as generally the web browser has the passwords memorized already, in my session.

I don't really log in to things on my phone because I don't want to trust it more than I need to, but I'd assume you could at least install a terminal with git and gpg, and it'd work like on your computer. I don't know of any more user friendly UIs, though, sorry.
>>
I memorized a formula that I use to construct passwords.
A sentence which depends on how important the password is + capital letters and numbers + a part of the site name.
All passwords are unique and easy to remember.

I keep a backup of all passwords in a .txt file in a Truecrypt container, which is encrypted with 7zip.

I have a server at home that I sync to. Though I guess you could use any git workflow you want if you don't have one of those.

try both and use whichever you feel like

I use lastpass.

Before I used keepass, but it has shit integration with firefox, it doesn't sync well, and it is windows only (mono is shit).

With lastpass I don't have to worry much about where I am, as I even have it on my android device. It isn't too expensive anyway.

pic related, super easy to remember these passes

when i really don't want them to be bruteforced i shift all of the characters in one direction on the keyboard. that way it's still memorable, but no longer contains dictionary words
>>
>>46803295
The problem with this method is the "look-over-the-shoulder" vulnerability. I.e. people who you know/work with, rather than random brute-forcing hackers. (Depending on what your profession is, one might be more dangerous than the other)

The benefit of having a "random character" password is that even if someone just saw a fraction of the keys you hit, they would have no way to extrapolate the rest. Not the case for passwords made out of words.
>>
LastPass with 20 randomized characters and foreign characters like € and £
>>
>>46797822
I wish there was a way to unlock keepass with my fingerprint
>>
>>46797579
Are you an idiot? You do realise how unsafe this is, right?

>>46797291
I use lastpass.

>>46797291
In my brain. My password is similar to cT15v87lrUm! but with a different couple of characters for each site.

my password was password but then cnn told me to change it to pa$$word

I have just installed keepass2 on a debian machine. Can the app or its db be copied or exported for use with keepass2 on another machine?
>>
>>46803475
Good point. I feel like the key shifting could help with that though.

Like they'd see me typing a bunch of seemingly random characters, and unless they notice that the keys I'm pressing are adjacent to other keys that would spell out a word, I'm probably in the clear

But GPG-encrypted text files are objectively better. Why are you downgrading?

They're all saved in my SeaMonkey profile.
>>
>>46803961
Ummm, dunno. Is it really a downgrade?
>>
>>46804010
If you have to ask, never mind. Just use KeePass like the rest of the botnet, good goy.

Better sync it to the cloud as well for better safety. :^)
>>
>>46797291
KeePassX
>>
>>46803961
Keepass removes the passwords from memory after a few seconds, it's also encrypted while in memory.

>>46803295
This is why XKCD is full of shit
