discuss Do you write passwords down?

[Zani]

Passwords are still one of the things that is very difficult to manage. When it comes to remembering your passwords for login, do you have a paper where you write down all passwords to your accounts, or did you use the remember password feature on those sites?

The only form of passwords that I write down is my crypto wallet secret phrase. I have backed it up on Google Drive but I also write it down for more backup. The other passwords, I allow them to be saved in my browser and I also save them in my Gmail

 

[Harsh World]

I have vital passwords written down and in a fireproof safe for ease of transfer if I ever become incapacitated, or in the event of my death, my wife can access accounts.

Depending on how much of your wealth is in wallets, I wouldn't trust putting a passphrase on any device other than writing it down or pressing it into metal for even safer keeping.

I don't have to write my password down as I use a password manager to store my passwords, especially the complex ones. Many browsers and devices have in-built password managers which makes it easier to store our passwords.

This is the same thing I do as well. I use password manager but I know it's not enough in case of emergency where I can't access it. This is why having to use a fireproof safe to store it written just in case. You can never be too careful in life.

I use difficult ones that i remember well so I don't have to write the down.

 

[Shortie]

I have never felt safe writing my passwords down on a piece of paper for two reasons: anyone could see them and try them, and you could easily lose that piece of paper.

I am thankful that we have password managers now, so I can save my passwords, and browsers will remember them, so if I forget, I know that they have my back.

What happens in a situation of emergency where you don't have the capacity to give out the password for someone to access whatever needs to be accessed in order to solve a problem?

I write them down and keep them at home.

I don't feel like it's a security problem. I live out in the country and I'm heavily armed. I'll shoot first and ask questions later like everyone else in my area will. People understand that and they don't mess around.

Of course, most people breaking in your house aren't looking for pieces of paper with passwords on them, either.

 

[Dr. A]

I do write down my passwords in one place and hope and pray that it never gets hacked! With regular password updates it is getting impossible to remember each and every password for me.

No, it's never a security problem unless the person keeps the paper carelessly which might have it get lost in the house.

If burglar comes in and start looking for a piece of paper, he's surely in there with information about it.

The number of sites that one has to sign up on now is much. And hoping to remember every of them is very impossible. I would just allow Chrome to save the passwords on the browser and sync it with my Gmail. If I write them down as the only form of backup, it can easily get missing. That's because someone can just take the book away. It is safer for me on Gmail.

 

[Yama]

I write down password of my mobile banking app, crypto wallet, and payment app. For other passwords I just save them on browsers.
