Yes, but at a certain point it doesn't even matter.

>>54561846
what do you suggest then you fucktard? memorizing hundred of passwords?
>>
>>54561872
Hmm Snowden recommends using a phrase as well. Is he wrong?
>>
I have a piece of paper with all of my logins/passwords written down on it.
>>
>>54561877
fuck you, that's my password
>>
>not writing your password down on a postit note and sticking it under your keyboard
>>
>>54561890

I've memorized about 50-60 passwords, all typed like >>54561877.

as a backup i write it down in a blank cover notebook and it sits on my bookcase, between hundreds of books.

id rather have it hidden in plain sight than in a program "HERE ARE ALL MY PASSWORDS XDDD" locked behind one password.
>>
>>54561797

>less than 80 bits of entropy
>safe

Also if you're using passwords like that you don't use random words you fucktard, you use proper phrases like
>Some people on /g/ should just fucking die
>>
>>54561917
>>Some people on /g/ should just fucking die
that's seems like a nice password, I think I'll use that from now on
>>
>>54561877
>not using 50 digit alphanumeric password with symbolls

Example:

KcoujDjMxi{K+=d<)eDr:p;HZ&//zB6weh0/#+ZSfk}/h%SAfZ

>>54561913
as you know keepass is portable so ive taken my precaution with that if you know what i mean
>>
>>54561797
15 char passwords sampled from a 40 char pool: 40^15 = 1.073.741.824.000.000.000.000.000
4 word password from a 20.000 word pool: 20.000^4 = 160.000.000.000.000.000

There's a 10^7 factor of difference.
>>
>>54561936
This is where it's at. Hide passwords like this under a 500 bit entropy master password that you can remember and you're golden.
>>
>>54561970
This is true, but people only care about muh entropy. In reality the entropy is not always an accurate measure of security
>>
>>54561742
>writing down your passwords

retard spotted
>>
>>54561742
This tbhsenpai
>>
>>54561998

no one else has access to it, it's not in a program that says "PASSWORDS" and it's disconnected from the internet.

How exactly am I the retard?

KeePass is safe as long it's stored in a boot-protected pendrive.

Because. You. Wrote. Them.

also

>no one else has access to them

if it makes you feel any better, i'll do what you guys do - shove it in a lock with a key, and write "PASSWORDS HERE" on it. It's pretty much the same fucking thing as using a password manager anyway.

Do you live in a basement locked away from the world? Even then the police has access to them.

>>54561872
Are you actually fucking retarded? The entropy model in the image he posted addresses that point. Maybe go through school again and try reading it?

>>54561917
How is 44 bits not safe? Are you worried that someone will find your pornhub password in march of 2420?

>>
>>54562069
>>54562071

It's literally the same thing. Instead of writing it down on paper, you write it down digitally. Since it is digital, it can be copied easier, and saved for much longer.

Writing it down on paper at least adds a foolproof method of security from the net.

Also, if you have 2-code auth enabled, it's even better.

That means someone got into your shit at home.

Literally a free burglar alarm.
>>
>>54562110
Password entropy is an innacurate estimate. Real 44 bits are secure, but they aren't real in this case.
There are different kinds of attacks, see >>54561970

>he has a porn account

And I have real work worth money that I don't want people accessing
>>
>>54562133
Are you not aware that password managers require a master password?

Are you perhaps, an idiot talking about things he knows nothing about?
>>
>>54562183

>hiding all your passwords behind one password

You can join me in fetus heaven then.

>>54562183
Master password with 2 factor authentication (my setup) beats a notepad of paper and fucking day. I doubt anyone could even brute force my master password but if some how they fucking did how will they get access to my my phone?
>>
>>54562245
Two factor authentication beats single factor any day.
>>
The passwords on all my accounts are simple, just the one
the password I use is
I'dlove2suckpaulmccartneysstonkingbighardon
>>
I use KeePass with a strong master password and sync it with DropBox.

Get mad at me.
>>
can you just tweak a dictionary attack to also work on dictionary words that are simply slammed together?

I have been using extremely simple word number word passwords my whole life and it worked just fine so far..

Bullshit. You can't possibly expect anyone to believe that, and if you happen to be some kind of major autistic genius with a memory that can handle that then expecting anyone else to do the same just highlights your autism even more.
Really.
