[Shop-talk] password lmanager software

[J.C. Hassall]

+1 for Jeff’s suggestion. I am transitioning from KeePass (excellent pw manager) to a system used by Google employees. Create a sentence you’ll remember, select the leading letters of each word, add a special character as the string terminator. Then for each pw required, add characters unique/meaningful for that site. You still have to remember the site-specific characters tho.

Instead of a password manager, I have a.system of creating passwords that combines a common feature with a series of modifiers depending on the.type of site and the site itself.   This, I can always reconstruct the password in my head based on the system.  I keep a list hidden just in case the method fails, it my heirs need to log into something.
