Passwords. Creation and storage

Question

Google Workspace

Hello!
In general, when I register somewhere, I usually write the same password that I have already registered somewhere. But as for the sites on which I am not and register only to, for example, download something, I do not worry. I'm worried about sites with my personal information, important sites. The problem is that I don't know how to come up with good, memorable, strong passwords. I ask habrozhiteley to share their personal experience or a link to create and store passwords.

And one more thing ... When I learn how to create passwords, I will need to store them somewhere. Please tell me some program that would store passwords. I would very much like it to support all platforms Win, Mac, Linux, Android, iOS. I only use Windows, Linux, Andoid but passwords are not for a couple of days. Who knows, maybe later I will use other platforms. Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

use keepassx

Answer 2

An example from spy novels - take a book, open it to the nth page; the first phrase is your password. At the same time, you can replace O with zero, Z (letter Z) with three, etc. All you need is to know the book and the page number... I remember that in spy novels, when agents of the "service" were arrested, they were just trying to figure out which book was "she" and which page was most often opened... Just
kidding, of course, but in every joke — well, you know.

Answer 3

Correctly advise KeePass. If you later use something else under a different platform, the program has an export to .txt, .html, .xml, .csv.

Answer 4

It is necessary to create passwords uniquely, from different characters, letters (upper, lower case), numbers, maybe symbols. For example, I put my hands on the keyboard, usually the fingers themselves lie on those buttons that are convenient for you to press, and we create a password, this is something like dactyl and visual memory.
It is necessary to change passwords, be sure to create a complex password <10-11 characters, it will not be difficult for you to change the password by adding an additional character, or by changing several characters in an already created password.

Answer 5

Come up with a basis for all passwords that you would remember or somehow associate with you. This base should include numbers, letters, and preferably special characters. The size is not necessarily large, 6-8 characters is enough. Next, add a suffix to this password that is associated with the domain.
Let's take an example. You are a big pizza lover, and you will not forget this. The basis of the password can be the following - Pi25Z06zA. The password consists of the word pizza, where their case alternates, and your date of birth 06/25. For Habrahabr, the password is converted to Pi25Z06zAhabr.
Maybe all this will seem too tricky, but at the same time, this is a rather complicated password that you can somehow quickly remember.

Answer 6

it can be easier, come up with a word in Russian with capital letters and numbers, switch to English and enter it, for example PasswordFromSite1979 turns into GfhjkmJnCfqnf1979 =)

Answer 7

KeePass or LastPass, the latter is a little more convenient in auto-completion, but personally I'm somehow scared to store everything on the network.

Answer 8

I do this:
1. I use KeePass Portable. The master password for him is very complicated and I remember it by heart.
2. For really very important sites (Internet banking, mail), I store unique complex passwords in KeePass, which I don’t remember by heart.
3. For important sites, I use an algorithm that includes the domain name + a small suffix that I remember by heart (for example, yandexru7hxc7D)
4. For unimportant / unreliable (which are quite likely to be hacked) - the same algorithm with a different suffix that I remember by heart.
5. For file dumps and sites that I will definitely never return to - the suffix from point 4.
KeePass Portable lives on a flash drive, the flash drive is automatically fully backed up every 4 hours using nnCron and nnBackup.

Answer 9

1Password. It's not online. But there is autocompletion and synchronization.

Answer 10

Here is a cool tulza. Passwords are stored nowhere at all!
