How do you keep track of your passwords?
 

Just curious please share.

Good question. With more and more sites requiring periodical password changes and having non-uniform number/symbol/capital/#char requirements, it seems to have become an issue for me. I just use whatever is built into my browsers (Chrome/FF) and just use my memory after I clear the history. I'd like to think that there's a better method out there somewhere! lol

Good morning :) until now i had used excel sheet but. with so many passwords i switched to KeePass. Is a free open source software. Just give it a try.Cheers

I don't see how this is a great thing, store all your passwords in one place, so if they ever get hacked, you lose EVERYTHING.

Excel "The message you have entered is too short. Please lengthen your message to at least 8 characters."

lastpass ?

good memory :)

Sometimes I write them on paper though, paper cannot be hacked :winkwink:

1password

paper is best solution, just make few copies

qwerty.......everything.

lol

pencil and paper.

Roboform, actually I use it to keep and to generate almost all my passwords:thumbsup

In my diary under my pillow.

Post it note on the side of my monitor.

The ideal solution I think would be for chrome to be synched with a gdocs password spreadsheet. As it stands, when you enter a new password, a 'Do you want Google Chrome to save this password" bar pops up. An additional bar or checkbox asking "Would you like to add this to your GDOCs password spreadsheet' would be perfect.

You could create a code, for example part of your password could always be the same, like WORD23, then add the first and last letters of the website, so for GFY it would be gWORD23y

For the passwords you have to change you would need another way of keeping track of them, though make sure you never write the full passwords down, always leave some *'s in them if possible, just enough to remind you what it is, so let's say your password was washington72, on a spreadsheet or email you'd write was*72, if that's enough to remind you (assuming you use washington in a lot of your passwords so it would come to mind quickly)

Fuck that. Google has enough of my info already.

123456 ...

When was the last time someone hacked your computer? Roboform kicks ass. :pimp

Maybe not hacked, but I bet there's a significant percentage (maybe even the majority) of webmasters here that are running a computer with a single drive and no backup.

Used roboform til I discovered Lastpass which is great

KeePass Password Safe, bitches.

Password Safe lite ( free ) on my android .

Treepad + truecrypt.



I'd advise against storing passwords in a(n unencrypted) spreadsheet in some cloud.

Chrome --> GDocs is just example. The point is to create a simple path from browser to spreadsheet b/c it's a pain in the ass to copy and paste the link into one column, add your user name to another, and then add your password to another. People who think Google is out to get them could use the Firefox --> Windows Live version.

I have a .txt file with all usernames and passwords. The file is then stored on a Truecrypt encrypted drive.

+1. Save the db on drobox and you can keep all your pcs up to date.

I save them on a text doc on an external drive

Pen and paper, plus a super secret hidden file just in case my paper crashes.

I use 5 different passwords for everything so I can usually remember them.

:1orglaugh :thumbsup

Last Pass is the best for me. Keeps track of all of them even when not using my original computer - you sign in from a different system and they are all there

I have a password system in my head

free desktop app

Keepass.

1password is great for the mac and iPhone. I used the windows version on my desktop too.

Roboform + Dropbox

+1 keepass!!! :thumbsup

lastpass for the win. Very very portable.

Don't trust all your passwords to sites like lastpass these big companies get hacked all the time just like Riot Games recently and they didn't salt their hashes. Meaning the hackers don't even have to break a few million passwords just compare the hashs of common passwords to the ones in the list and now you have a few million logins in 40 seconds.

The only choices for a webmaster securing his passwords IMO are Keepass or Gnome-Keychain/Linux Keychain/Mac stored LOCALLY.

A notepad file,.. Not with the passwords but a few hints about them :

Ex :

ThatSite : userthis/Moms Cat Name
This Site : User That / Prefered Vacation
etc..

1Password is where its at!
:thumbsup

Roboform for the win.

Though I will say that I have not converted to Roboform Everywhere, nor do I intend to.

Btw a tip when creating passwords - bookmark this link and it will generate two 10 character passwords every time you reload it - or edit the settings to your needs and bookmark afterwards. :pimp
