How to: even safer passwords. Simple trick

[FunnyBunny]

I've always wanted to memorize a password like

68f4h8d26s877hf6s84n1cfgr186sjhg81a9s44d6

That way someone could be looking over your shoulder typing it in and they still wouldn't know what it is.

or something all numbers like 893218647832198787231989526813
that way you can type it real fast on the numpad

Most anti-viruses have an password generator.
I have Kaspersky PURE, which works great!
Heres an example: 3!ohZV2*czI4w$YAq^

I have three base passwords that I have been using for about 10 years, first I used only one. Now when I remember them instantly and easily, I can create new passwords by combining 2 or all of them.

And all the passwords are something like kc92GmnIz0.

[QUOTE=CowThing;25315875]Great idea! I've been using the same password since 2004, so I think it's about time I get one that's more secure.

According to [url]http://howsecureismypassword.net/[/url]
my old password would take "About 2 hours" to crack.
my other old password would take "About 5 years" to crack.
And my new password would take "About 10 million years" to crack.[/QUOTE]

Says my password I use for Facebook would take 32 trillion years to crack :smug:.

Best password ever. [B]FACT[/B].

I have a password for everything, however I use Firefox's "Password Storage" thing to remember them all for me. I'll probably start looking at my list, pick out some old good passwords, delete that site, reuse it for a different site or change my password to that.

Btw: The password has absolutely nothing to do with the website when I make 'em, is that a good idea? (and it's not something easy to guess either)

[Kronix904]

I use a random generated password with each account and keep track of all of them using KeePass and Dropbox. Ton more secure than using Firefox or the same password for each site, like I once did.

[evilweazel]

Have one for forums, one for email, and one for anything that involves money.

I have 3 passwords. 2 I cycle through on every website and another one for steam.
Steam password is much longer than the other 2, 32 characters long :v:

I reached the limit with 1 character to go, jesus christ.

Hey guys type your fp passwords in a thread and they won't show up

:v:

I recently got a dog, I couldn't think of a name for him so I called him Password.

Use an encrypted database program. They can randomly generate strong passwords and store them for you. I have about 40 different strong passwords that I would never remember otherwise. Also, make them at least 9 characters, to add a lot of time to cracking programs.

[Chekko]

I tend to use the three first letters from the site and then my personal password after it.

Fuck, i said it.

Not that my passwords are actually that safe... I just memorize random sentences out of books and use parts of them (Rarely ever all of it because of character limitations), including punctuation and such.

[editline]12:23AM[/editline]

I just realized that site actually has a character limit itself (the time never went up past that when I kept typing apparently), so that particular password wouldn't work for some other things.

Holy shit I guess I'm fucking secure. 1,609,824 nonillion years O.o

[gamefreek76]

Most of my passwords are variations of 1234 unless the passwords require at least 6 characters, the it is always 123456, unless there needs to be a mix of letters and numbers, then it is abc123.

Oh man, I have a huge list of peoples passwords who use the same password for multiple sites.

Here's one of my password ideas, [email][e-mail][/email], assuming your password isn't lower capitals and different each time.
So if my password were "Giantd0ngs", i'd use "[e-mail]" on FP, easy to remember and adds a bunch to the lenght.

[QUOTE=w0lfeh;25316479]I recommend you guys using KeePass, it lets you store your passwords for websites and such(So you can make them fucking long), in case you forget them.
You have to set a password to enter and view your passwords in KeePass(make it really long).There is another way, I didn't really use it, so I don't really know.

sort of as easy to crack as a normal password, if I phished/other wise found out that your password for logging into facepunch was "[e-mail]" I'd probably then try it on facebook "[e-mail]"

That's why I mentioned of having a different password each time, this "idea" just adds to the length of it.

Best rule:
Steam Password =/= other shit passwords

[hypno-toad]

Three passwords too, steam and email are both important, other things not so much so.

Thirteen of the letter "e" apparently takes 7 thousand years to crack.

Foolproof.

One time I accidentally got semen on my keyboard, and when I was wiping it off I pushed down the keys with the cloth inadvertently. I looked up and made the resulting output on the screen my master password.

[TheLolrus]

I just decided to make all my passwords different components of my computer.

Encoded into Base64.
My Steam password now will take 1,873,469,891 nonillion years to crack. :smug:

[lolwutdude]

All I do is go to a register or lost password page, then use the letters + words from the captcha image, and use it as my password.

[PsYchOsIs]

I've been using a [url=http://www.passwordcard.org/]PasswordCard[/url]. Basically, a seeded sheet of random characters and letters you print out, keep the actual codes in your wallet and put the seed code somewhere really safe, and then just make passwords from those characters, and memorize them by the ASCII symbol and line color.

It's nice, because I don't have a stupid password for my GMail that I use for everything else.

[Takkenrakker]

It would take
About 126 nonillion years
for a desktop PC to crack your password.

Hell YEEAAAAAA!
