I am thinking not only about security from brute forcing. Complexity also makes it more difficult to remember or to restore for your heirs 🤔

That’s why i am thinking about this atm. Short and easy could also be an advantage if you yourself forget it and have to brute force it

Yes, for absolutely critical things, I would go for shorter 4-5 words passwords. They are easy to remember and still have high complexity = entropy.

For regular websites/services one could use a password manager like Bitwarden, Keepass, Enpass, etc.

Funny. Just downloaded bitwarden 😅 but not reallzusing it since i don’t understand yet how far it can be trusted… since it stores all my passwords in the cloud 🤔

Bitwarden doesn’t have to be trusted at all if you run your own vaultwarden on your node. This is gonna be your cloud then 😉

Check BTC sessions on how to set it up.

Oh boy this rabbit hole is so deep 😅🙏

You can’t even imagine 🤣😂

If you’re paranoid, it doesn’t mean they ain’t watching you 🫵🫡

Don't use any password manager that touches the internet.

I would use something like keepass with a hard token+password to open.

That way if your password backup is stolen remotely it would be an extream task to brute force.

💯

You mean 4-5 words or characters? 🤔

Maxim 2y ago

Regular words separated by dashes. As you can see from the xkcd figure, it has a higher entropy than a seemingly complicated password with random characters, symbols and numbers. But it is super easy to remember.

Thanks for your advice mate 🙏

Highly appreciate it 🫂💜
