What does Sup Forums use to manage their passwords? I'm asking both about techniques for remembering them easily and about software for managing them, while still having something that won't be owned by Rajesh at his first try. Currently I tend to forget passwords that I'm not using very often and I'm starting to get a bit frustrated about it.

I just remember them usually.
I think writing them down on paper is a good solution.
My brain
I gotta shill Bitwarden a little bit right there.
Very happy that I found it.
Just use any password manager as long as it's not disgustingly proprietary.
keepass
You gotta be retarded if you use a digital password manager. What you need to do is write them down then put them where you put your loli porn
this
encrypted plaintext files
I use one password for everything
Lastpass
Never use software, just use paper and ink.
Encrypted textfile on a usb
or i use a ordinary piece of paper and a pen (1 letter is changed in case someone reads it)
this right here.
Got a textfile with websites on the computer, though. It's just a little list with numbers. And the passwords and stuff I write down in a little booklet, also with numbers, so I know which password belongs to which website.
I used to have a scheme I tweaked slightly but I eventually had so many accounts I just gave up and used a password generator and stored everything in a master encrypted password document. Then I just rely on browser keychains and password autofill.
I personally find most of those elaborate password management tools overengineered.

Your personal memory you dumbass
a program i wrote that uses AES-128 (with a key generated by PBKDF2) to keep a CSV table of passwords. this table gets formatted and written to stdout if you give the correct master password, so you can grep for what you want. it's nice.
frankly, though, i think GPG can be used on a text file to the same effect

>it's hideously overcomplicated crap that can't be meaningfully filtered through other programs
1-writing something like L28&9i*hshYs6y)=Nj in .txt
2-pack it into .rar with some password which I remember
Password managers are crap and too insecure.
I've tried many, but I end up coming back to keepassx. It's simply the best one out there.
Not overcomplicated, secure and does the job just fine.
A sane password manager already literally does this for you.
i have a long sentence that i use everywere but the first and last word are the name of the web page
Keepass
KeeFox for Firefox autofill
Keepass2Android for android autofill
Google drive sync plugin so that it syncs everywhere
Literally perfect
This. If someone is in a position to find it they'll have taken my PC anyway so that'd be the least of my worries.
but at least if you have a properly encrypted password file they can't hijack your pornhub and facebook accounts
Also do a trivial ceaser cipher or similar.
My brain, pen and notebook.
p := plaintext
n := random bits
pw := user's master password
k := pbkdf(100000, sha1, pw, n)
iv := random bits
c := aes(k, iv, p)
file := n,iv,c
My method exactly
In the same vein as :
"Oh hello, !"
Keepassx
I use a chisel them on to stone tablets which I keep in a crypt beneath my house.
Keepass. Use version 1.x if you're paranoid, it underwent a comprehensive audit by I think the EU. I use version 2.x because it has some nifty features and I trust the dev enough. Keepass2Android for mobile.
The only thing I haven't solved yet is syncing that with Linux keychains, since Mono sucks balls
I very much like the password vaults plug-in with the new owncloud. That way I have that shit secured on my own server and it lets you organize that quite a lot.
Obviously for that you would need a server running owncloud though.
That does sound nice. Right now I have my encrypted keepass container in dropbox, but making my own server would probably be a good idea.
Yup. If you trust any hosting provider you can get a relatively cheap vps (I like ovh for this, have a seedbox running there for a long time now), if not just set up a server on Ubuntu server/Debian with the owncloud package and open ports as needed.
your brain, any other method is doomed to fail
it's literally a directory tree of gpg-encrypted plain text files
KeePass.
>implying your brain isn't the most doomed method of all
You'll either use the same password everywhere or make shitty passwords so that you can remember them easier.
There's actually a plugin for desktop KeePass that lets you sync over SFTP (I think it's called SftpSync), and the app (at least on Android) supports doing so by default. All you need with that is shell access to a server. Both the app and the plugin are smart enough to merge changes when syncing, too.
there's no point in a hierarchy, and that's too granular. printing them all in a flat structure to stdout makes it easy to process them with any standard unix tool, and it's usually grep you'd use
Been using this for a while
pwsafe.org
I'm sure there's something MUCH better, probably . that Keepass thing, but this is what I use now.
Congrats, you win the "dumbest person in this thread" award.
A hidden piece of paper.
Don't be a mental midget and practice remembering 16-32 count alphanumeric words.
Problem with that is if you don't use a password for a while (lets say half a year or more), it can sometimes slip your mind.

my brain you dolt
