And if you use BitLocker, do NOT backup your recovery key to the cloud!

Print out out, give it to a friend, don't mention it via electronic means (email, text, Snapchat, YouTube, and so on...)

And if you use BitLocker, don't!

What is a better windows alternative?

[-] turdas@suppo.fi 9 points 2 days ago

Even better is to memorize it.

[-] rtxn@lemmy.world 45 points 2 days ago

Hide it in a poem in a leather bound book at the end of a trap-filled dungeon.

Hide it in a book in a buried chest on a minecraft world 5000 blocks from spawn.

[-] ThunderQueen@lemmy.world 4 points 20 hours ago

Unironically not a terrible idea. Who tf would check your minecraft for irl keys. Could probably have a library in a world just full. Probably isnt encrypted though. Probably just plain text in a game file on your drive somewhere

I stole from someone else that hid the urls of porn sites in a chest when he was a kid. Think it was pretty old, probably on Reddit, learned about it maybe 2 years ago. I don't know anything about encryption or protecting sensitive information, certainly not of this nature, but it could potentially work. Would be quite a few chests full if anon is doing something with a lot of intricate details.

I'll hide it at the end of my mix tape.

[-] Insekticus@aussie.zone 14 points 2 days ago

Ill be honest, this is clearly the best idea out there for passwords safety

[-] Pilon23@feddit.dk 11 points 2 days ago

Now when you say a trap-filled dungeon. What exactly do you mean?

nothing incriminating, your honour, just some harmless pranks such as water buckets above the doors.

[-] KairuByte@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 20 hours ago

I don’t think that’s the kind of trap they were alluding to…

[-] Walk_blesseD@piefed.blahaj.zone 3 points 17 hours ago

Oh, I got that, I just refuse to entertain the possibility.

[-] KairuByte@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 17 hours ago

Y’know what, fair enough.

[-] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 day ago

Don’t print it. Your previous prints are easily retrievable

[-] JPAKx4@piefed.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 day ago

I think I've heard if you have a Microsoft account it automatically gets backed up

This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
