One favorite of mine is to use obscure scripture passages in latin. Or is it?
The biggest problem with complex passwords is that not every site/service deploys the same allowed special characters or rules.
I have an uncommon phrase that includes mixed case + numeric + special + unique site characters I tend to use, but it's not always accepted in a reasonable form.
Example - one service that required THREE special characters, but allows them all to be the same. WTF? Yea, I'm talking about you UniFi.
While the next site won't accept more than one, etc.
My preference is to allow simpler base passwords with two factor auth required.
Wouldn't life be easier if we all had a chip in our right hand or forehead?
CAC/smart card + never-changing PIN FTW.
I screwed up logging into both of my bank accounts more than once, each just now. I log into each of them several times a week. I'm sure that this thread is to blame.
With all the passwords I have to remember for work, I've really come to appreciate the fingerprint feature on my phone for personal stuff.
Lastpass is an excellent password manager. The beauty of it is that the owners of Lastpass don't have your passwords, they are encrypted at all times and only decrypted by your local machine that you are using. They use the same 256bit AES encryption madated by DOD, so as long as DOD remains unhacked, your passwords are safe.
I've been using it myself for years and recommend it to everyone. Take the time to go through their video tutorials to really learn how to use it. It's worth the 20 minute investment of your time. And best of all, it's totally free. There is a premium version you can buy if you want mobile support, but it's only $1/month.
I use Xmarks (Premium), that is now owned by LastPass, to sync bookmarks across multiple browsers and devices.
It's been (mostly) reliable although I did fight an issue for a few weeks recently where it was, of all things, moving my shortcut to COAR15 in my (Chrome) bookmarks bar to a different position. No amount of fiddling, resyncing, restoring (online), uploading/downloading to every sync'd device would fix it. It would randomly stay where I put it for minutes/hours, then mysteriously move again. I finally moved it to the first item and found that to be stable, then moved it to close to where I wanted it, but still not the same spot and it's been fine since. Super strange behaviour. I will say that the shortcut does have some "special" characters in it that may have confused the app.
