Sneaky way of storing your passwords - sivameqayqibh - 10-12-2022 I think most of you guys can relate to the uncomfortable feeling in your gut caused by knowing that you have important passwords/passphrases stored on a piece of paper in your home, exposing you to the dangers of an unexpected house search. But worry no more, I think I just have invented the perfect solution! So basically my idea is that you can grab any grocery item in your home like a bottle of ketchup, cleaning supplies etc. (which you will remember and won't throw out accidentally) and just take a look at it's label, then assemble a password from the text in a way that is easy to recall, but near impossible to guess for anyone else. And boom now you have a decent password stored in hindsight with super secret military grade encryption.

This method is for the convenience of you not having to memorise or physically store a long and complicated passphrase for your veracrypt drives, persistent storages etc. RE: Sneaky way of storing your passwords - calfskin537 - 10-15-2022 Quote:(10-15-2022, 12:11 PM)perry Wrote:Passphrases, or as I like to call them "password sentences", are extremely easy to remember and very difficult to crack.

For Instance, "I love going for long walks along the beach". Even stronger when substituting letters with numbers: "I l0ve g0ing f0r l0ng walks al0ng the beach". It's only a single letter type change to a number, hence easy to remember what you've changed.
