Of course I’m not asking you to give away your passwords. But for those of you who have so many, how do you keep track of them all? Do you use any unique methods?
I know many people struggle between having something that’s easy to remember and something that’s easy to guess. If you keep a note with your passwords on it, for example, it can be stolen, lost, or destroyed, or if you make them according to a pattern that’s easy to remember, the wrong people might find them easier to guess.
Like other have said, Bitwarden.
But I also would like to add: I use the Emergency Access feature in case of forgotten master password.
You basically set up another account and do a sort of “public key exchange handshake” with your main account. Then your secondary account becomes a way to recover your main account.
You can store the credentials to secondary account in plain text on a piece of paper in a drawer somewhere you have a habit of accessing (so you don’t forget where you put it). Its doesn’t matter if a snooping family member saw those credentials, theres a pre-set timer that needs to expire before access is granted. If I saw that timer being triggered, I’d know someone had been snooping, and I can just click deny access from my main account.
So if you somehow forget your main password, you find the paper with your secondary account and use it to request access to your primary account. And well you’d have to wait out the timer, but its better than losing your vault forever and having to reset every password.
