The password managers are: KeepassDX (Far Left), KeepassXC (PC version of local), Proton Pass (Better privacy) and Bitwarden (Far Right). Please note that bitwarden does some data collection. See their privacy policy here and their privacy spy rating here.

    To the people in here, that gets rude and condescending when I try to tell them, that there’s a better way to remember passwords, here’s just one page that explains how it might be done. And yes, this is as unbreakable as random passwords. And you can easily make part of password change for the site or app you use it for… But hey, feel free to keep attacking me, for knowing something that you didn’t…

      Might be an interesting thread to read.

      Many says that your system is “better than the average person reusing the same password”, but still not better than a password manager, and that you can’t “out remember a machine”. Many have also pointed out that data breaches and hacking is actually very common these days, all an attacker would need is 2 sample and they would see the pattern; On top of that, with the development of AI, there could eventually be a bot that would to test variations of jusr one leaked password and attack your acounts on different websites, then you’d have to change all your passwords, instead of just one. Someone also said that, this is essentially like a Master Password of a password vault + a “Salt” as your passwords, and the password is only as secure as those few unique characters, which could be cracked very easily.

        That’s a lot of logins you have. Do you use them all? Feel free to do as you like. It’s just sad that you can’t accept that some people have different abilities and experiences than you.

            That’s just sad - a lightbulb with a password. 😅 I’m not talking about reusing passwords, but thanks for you comment.

          sometimes you move on from things you believe and then see people still with those beliefs

          btw your wikihow article mostly just talks about security by obscurity, which password crackers already exploit

            It’s okay that you don’t get the example as I said it was. It’s even okay that you haven’t moved on. What’s sad is, that you think it’s about a belief. I’ll take a wild guess here, and say that you might be religious too…

            Anyway, if you don’t feel like doing it the smart way, just don’t. It’s really that easy. It must be sad, needing to comment on anything that you don’t like, because you do it differently.

      In principle I agree with this and follow it, but these days every single friggin service requires a password and for some people there will come a point where they will be overwhelmed with the amount of passwords they have to remember and generating a random+storage is a lot easier than remembering.

      Much like this https://xkcd.com/936/

        If people get overwhelmed, then it’s because they don’t follow their own system. Remembering a system, is a lot easier than you seem to think. Every single person I’ve taught this, uses it. A few I know also uses Firefox’s build in password manager, because it’s easier across devices, but that’s about it. Not a single one uses any other password manager, and they don’t need to.
