My password(s) is a 256 bit hash of several answers to very personal questions. Basically a puzzle that you have to solve in certain order.

Yes, it's a big hassle to retrieve it. On the other hand, yes it's a big hassle to retrieve it. Grin

lol, big paswords wont matter if you've got a keylogger though Cheesy

.

If you're incompetent enough to have a keylogger on your system and not understand why you should be regularly scrubbing your "run on start" programs (hijackthis! generally is my tool of choice) then you have bigger issues than keyloggers I reckon.

That's true. I prefer to use linux anyway.

I store them in my head, and they are 20 character passphrases not passwords.

I forgot one for a BTC wallet late last year. It wasnt fun but I remembered it after trying combinations for a few days. You have to be very careful.

I recommend keeping passwords in your head, but not massive 20 character pass-phrases lol.

I use a 9 word passphase with a acronym in the center, just what wikipedia suggests I do.

As an added bonus, I can't spend my coins while intoxicated because my password is way too complex to type properly when on drugs so I have my own anti-drug security measure on my bitcoin wallet, woho.

I just keep them on pendrive in an ordinary txt file. I don't use all this sneaky renaming, noone touches my stuff anyway Cheesy

Similar here. With a little maths (algorithm) involved to get the actual passwords.

As long as you use the pen drive on a safe computer. I recommend using a linux boot CD. If your computer is infected when you look at the password text file you could be in trouble.

If you have to write passwords down it kinda defeats the point. Just make a reminder. If your password is Bitcoinpimp2014 just write down btcp14.

Yeah, as long as you don't forget what btcp14 means lol.

Haha yeah, anything past around 8 or 9 characters becomes had to remember if you don't think about it every day!

I keep my main password in my mind - I've memorised it over time and think it's the most secure - unless I die and no one can retrieve it Wink

Don't like having my passwords at some online service...
Why not use Keepass2 / Keepassx? Same functionality, only completely in your control?

I use LASTPASS. (lastpass.com)

Cannot recommend it enough. I have 15 character random unique passwords for every site I visit.

Great product for everything web based. There are a few of them as well. Roboform. Password box. Etc.

And now anybody who wants to touch your stuff knows exactly where you hide your passwords.

So now he has to get my address, come here, break in, spend hours turning my house up side down searching for that pendrive and get the reward. Any volunteers? Grin

Keepass2 running on PCs and on phone and tablet. All of these are kept in sync with btsync. I love btsync for this as it is p2p file sync.

Keepass 2 on PC and kypass 3 on iPhone with dropbox to sync between them. The only password software you will ever need. Only have to remember the master password.
