Let me guess - you *need* more?

I need less. I think I'll just write all my passwords on a small piece of paper and put it in my booty hole.

The same group of retarded nigger faggots laughing at people who uses books or notepad for account/passwords are the same group of people that laughs at successful game devs like Toby Fox for writing Undertale with shitty coding practices while completely missed the point of what is the good ol' reliable just werks approach that is simplistic in nature.

I guess I don't need even that but it sure is more convenient. Not having to carry around a notebook is nice for one.
>>
>>101433219
If you want to log into something when out of the house it might be inconvenient to carry the notebook. Not to mention bringing it with you increases the risk that someone gets to it a lot.
>>
>>101432961
Yes you can. Just encrypt everything before you write in it. Doesn’t even have to be anything really secure since your main concern with this is a nog who will not be able to decode even the simplest cipher.
>>
A KDBX file copied to multiple USBs, drives, and my phone.
I store the master key in my head.
This is the safest method there is period.
>>
>>101433763
You'll have to copy it again to all backup locations whenever a password is changed or a new one is added. And you need a really strong password for the kdbx in case someone gets the file.

Memorize a long piece of text, preferably of your own creation. I don't know how some autists do it, but I think the human mind, generally, is capable of this.
Use that piece of text as a One-Time Pad. Remember the position you got to, or just count how much you've written already. Do the calculations in your head. Write directly in ciphertext.

Now who the fuck can crack this?

If you can't use the passwords immediately, don't leave a trace. Duh.

>laughs at successful game devs like Toby Fox for writing Undertale with shitty coding practices
Who's done that though? I've never heard anyone talk shit about that game or its code. I've only ever heard people mention the shit code as a success story and something motivational, not a condemnation.
YandereDev, on the other hand...
>>
>>101433918
if you have enough time to:
>pick the lock with paperclips
>write down all of the passwords inside the book
>without getting caught
you will have enough time to just go in and change all of the passwords yourself. Or you could just take the journal. If they need a password journal for all their accounts they probably won't remember the passwords anyway, so they won't be able to change them without the journals.
>>
>>101432935
old people already do this, they keep a notebook with their usernames/passwords and don't bother remembering anything, ironically these people are safer from data breaches than anyone else.
>>
>>101434026
There's nothing ironic about this. Complexity has nothing to do with security.
>>
>>101433973
>pick the lock with paperclips
It's an insult to lock-picking to call opening those book locks "picking". A first grader could do it in no time, and a lot definitely have (there's a reason those books are popular with kids only, not adults with adult brains).
>write down
photos
>won't remember the passwords, won't be able to change them
Fair point. However, consider they might remember the password for one fairly important account - their email. And there's plenty of ways (especially with mail services) to recover your account without the password.
>>
>>101432961
no but how are you going to find it?
>>
>>101432961
The people breaking into your house do not have the same goals as people trying to hack into your accounts.

>>101432935
Yes NEET, I do need more. Doing consistent backups of password paper is close to impossible, therefore if it will ever be lost, stolen or damaged, you will lock yourself out of your accounts. Not to mention that those passwords are stored in plain text. If you ever get a job, you will understand.

1. It's limited to handwriting and space

2. It can be destroyed or stolen easily or lost(keepass database can be duplicated hundreds of times and still be secure with the master password)

3. It reduces security inherently because you are less likely to write down a long complex randomly generated password from programs like keepass, you have to resort to word string phrases like a seed password

>OP needs voice activated password journal

the only password is your email password
every other password you can use the "forgot password" function to reset it to some gibberish that you don't need to memorize because you can use the forgot password function again

Not reusing passwords solves 90% of issues. Not using 'admin' or 'password' as password solves 9.9999999% of issues.

That's what I do lol.
I reverse the first and last characters. Then the second Alphabet letter is replaced by the proceeding letter in the alphabet.
So if the password is 123abc, I write it as c23ac1. I just need to remember one key encryption method in my head and everything is foolproof.

At least until you develop dementia and can't remember how to decrypt it and then just get angry and throw the book away.

>>101432935
I've often thought about doing something like this. Just create a XX character password for each account, and pick 2 or 3 of the characters as dummy characters. So, for each password, the 1st, 9th, and 10th characters aren't actually in the password. That would surely be secure enough for the average joseph?

Well, on the bright side, no one else will take their crypto. If they ever find the note, that money should still be there waiting for them.
