discuss Passwords

[Oshawott]

How do you manage your passwords?

Do you write it somewhere or do you have a more easier way of organisation.

This was a big deal for me while I was running on a Windows laptop, but after I have switched to MacBook, the fingerprint authentication that they have helps me to set up complex passwords and not remember much about it.

I make sure that I write down my passwords in a book that I can easily access. Sometimes a password can fly out of my head without warning. But if I had written it down, it would be easy to check it.

I use Chrome's password manager for less sensitive accounts (social media for instance) and write down passwords for more sensitive accounts (banking, etc.).

I do this for two reasons: 1) security and 2) to give my family access to certain accounts if life happens sooner than expected.

You're absolutely doing it right because life can definitely happen at anytime without any notice. I have everything sensitive written down and my only brother have direct access to all my accounts in case.

I think biometrics should be adopted. with this one will be less vulnerable to attacks. Biometric technologies include facial recognition, fingerprint scanning, and voice recognition etc

I titally agree with this.

But the problem is not every websites and online resources has adopted the biometric or mobile authentication method.

This means, we still have to take care of our passwords.

I save passwords on browsers. and my devices are biometric enabled. For sensitive information, for instance payment wallet bank apps, I have enabled 2FA.

I don't think I would be able to remember as much passwords as the services that I use online are so much. I save site passwords on my browser. And I use my Google account to backup my financial apps passwords. I have a password book that I pen down some passwords when I remember to.

 

[Harsh World]

I use my Google account to backup my financial apps passwords.

If you have anybody that depends on you, you might want to pen these down and also provide instructions on accessing the funds to distribute them.

I have a lot of my net worth in different areas, but my wife would be unable to easily access the stored funds without passwords being written down with instructions on liquidation and transferring.

As we all know passwords are unique identifiers that are used to identify users before they can be granted access to computers or some sites. It is alsways required paswords should not be recorded for security purposes. For my case I always use google password manager to store passwords of sites that are not so senistive. However for sites that are sensitive I just use one same password that is never saved anywhere and is unique; like the name of my great grandfather.
