Storing your passwords online would still be likely to be hacked. IT experts that anything that is online can be hacked depending on the circumstances so it's best if you write it in a notebook.

Hello

Does anyone know or can reccomend the best way to store passwords? Is there a program you can use or a way to encrypt a file with all your passwords on it?

Thanks
The safest way to store password is to write it in an organizer. There are free encryption key out there but I it doesn't guarantee that your password is safe from hackers. They have their own way to Crack the program.

I can recommend you program with a name 1 password, it is so usefull. And in mac keychain is a must! You must use some tracking/backuping program these days. Just to play safe with your funds.
Hope this is helpfull for you. Cheers

For me the best and safest way to store passwords is i write it in my notes.I mean i have a notebook for back up.And my primary to store my passwords is i save it in my messenger.

Always on paper!! Never trust programs and especially never use any online ones. No one can hack paper and you can store it in a safe or something. Look at the past password managers that have histories of hackers breaking in and getting passwords. Paper is the best way to protect yourself, across all the platforms. That's also why paper wallets are the best too if you're going to be doing a long airdrop or are planning on hodling for a very long time and don't want to touch the coins while having max security. Don't risk it!

Delete your password from your local device and upload it to your mail. Like to a gmail account. This is safer and and you don't have to worry losing it.

You need to change your mail password and you need to set a authentication to access it with your phone only.
This is very insecure, an email is always online, you could get hacked at any moment of the day, while in your computer you can only be hacked while your computer is turned on and you have access to the internet, besides even if you delete the password from your local machine most of the time the password is still there you need to secure delete it.

I dont prefer to save all my details password in the email as this has the high chance to get hack your private details. Yes it is an online email and possible your email will get hack. So I prefer storing in in my computer, celphone.

I use paper and encrypted flash drive to store my passwords.

Yeah that's right. We're the same buddy.
Just print it and make many copies and hide it on different areas. In this way you'll have a lot of back up when things turned unexpectedly.

I store it on my personal computer as well as saving some like of qr code . Always have a backup on everything of our accounts and always keep printer papers on your safe.

Computer , laptop then mobile phone thats where i save all my password then another copy where in tha flashdisk then notebook i dont have printer yet so I manually copy this on my notebook for me on my own thats what my safe way to store my password.

You can store password via software, e.g. Keepass, if you have many passwords. The best way is not to store it anywhere outside your head - make a long password that's easy to remember, e.g. "no1@thisforumcanguessmypassword". If your sentence is random enough then it will be really hard to bruteforce. Making passwords that you can't remember will just require reminders that someone else can find and use.

The best way for me in storing my passwords is that going to gmail. Compose a mail and in there you can protect it! Just don't delete that mail though.

there are so many exchange and website to register nowadays and its dangerous to use the same passwords, its better to store in several different ways, and the passwords written down should be condensed

i though about this a lot, in my opinion the best would be to store them the old fashion way, in a book on paper, I don't trust cloud storage password because you don't know who can access it and if they will hacked one day

local password storage can be dangerous if you loose your computer or crash your hdd

Don't trust any software for passwords. You can try to write them to paper. Yes its a old style but its the safest way to store passwords for big amount of money.
Ledger is suggesting to store seed to paper too Smiley
I think so! Only you known passwords is the best! Write in your brain or write to some where!
agree with that also we cant trust the software to store our password it is much better if you are more secured on all of your password like it has a copy on all either in notebook for your safety.
In the depth of my brain, I always thought what's the point of using all these password storing software, it seem that this kind of software just can be very harmful to its user, once the company goes nuts and sell all their client's data then so many people doomed, and yeah, I agree with you, never use password storing software.
But also, saving your password in notebook is not safety, try to safe it on raspberry pi, flashdisk, external hardisk, or something else.

You can try and have a document which stores all or some passwords and then have a password (which you remember) to unlock this document. Or the best way is to simply have a paper copy, but then you run the risk of losing it. Really the number 1 way is to remember them but it can be hard to remember dozens of passwords for various accounts and sites.

I stored my passwords, private keys and wallet address in my yahoo.email so that everywhere i go i could use them. Yahoo email now have 2 factors authentication in which every time you log in they will ask of your password and the pin that will send to your personal phone, if these two will not meet then it is impossible for you to open your email. This features alone is hard to guess except if you did not memorize it. Just make sure you will not accept the pop up alert requesting you to auto save the password in every computer that you will going to use.

I recommend that you shouldn't rely on apps especially software since it still have security defects and may be easily to be accessed by hackers etc. i suggest try it on your email or traditional way. Try it on a sticky note and make your own code that only you can understand, in that way if somebody tries to read it, they wouldn't get it either way.
