Why did people stop using notepads (actual physical ones) for this? No digital storage, no leaks. Besides, after a couple of times you get the muscle memory of typing in the passwords anyway.
I have a different password for each service I use. Each password is 30+ characters long and completely random with letters, numbers and special characters. There's no way I could remember any of them and they'd be a hell to type out manually. I use KeePass on every device I own and it's synced over my NAS. So it's super convenient and no risk for leaks.
My password manager contains about 600 passwords by now. I use 30+ passwords on a daily basis for work (IT industry) so no chance in hell that I'll remember half of those. And the ones I need maybe once a year?? Good luck without a manager.
Tell me you use the same password everywhere without telling me you use the same password everywhere
And they’re very likely way too short
I did this, stored in an encrypted container, for a long time. Problem is it’s not scalable unless you start reusing passwords across different sites and services, which is itself a terrible practice.
Switched to Bitwarden (self hosted) several months ago and am very happy with it.
I'm using randomly generated 64-character passwords with upper/lower-case letters, numbers, and symbols.
I prefer not to manually enter them every time.
Also someone could find and photograph your notepad and then all your passwords are compromised in one go.
Try to remember
