what do you think of this dumb idea?:
bip85 can be used to create an essentially infinite number of hierarchical deterministic of extremely strong passwords that you can recreate from your seed phrase.
if this is your seed phrase:
gorilla source travel angle wasp modify endless tumble follow anger camp stereo
your first password (BIP85 Index 0) would be:
cannon rally gift invite boil sort around illness amused engage shift useful
Index 1 would be:
onion have orient stamp swarm learn text city taste oil cash frost
and so on
from Perplexity.ia (shucks):
Your idea of using BIP85 to generate hierarchical deterministic passwords from a seed phrase is actually quite clever, not dumb at all. Here's an analysis of this approach:
Pros:
1. Security: Passwords derived this way are extremely strong and random.
2. Recoverability: You only need to remember one seed phrase to recreate all your passwords.
3. Hierarchical: The index system allows for organized password management.
4. Infinite passwords: You can generate as many unique passwords as needed.
5. Offline generation: Passwords can be created without internet connection, enhancing security.
Cons:
1. Seed phrase vulnerability: If the master seed is compromised, all derived passwords are at risk.
2. Complexity: It might be challenging for non-technical users to implement.
3. Tool dependency: Requires specific software to generate passwords from the seed.
4. Potential overuse: Users might be tempted to use the same seed for too many services.
Overall, this method provides a robust, recoverable password system. However, it's crucial to keep the master seed extremely secure and use it responsibly. It's an interesting application of cryptocurrency technology to general security practices.
