Title: Good password manager for mining pools
Post by: 124C41 on March 12, 2014, 07:14:07 AM

I started using this chrome extension / app to manage my passwords for all my mining pools.

Works well, so I thought I'd share it with you.

It's free and runs on Windows, Mac, iOS and Android

Passwords are best kept off the browser

Thanks for the link.
I have been using lastpass, and I would probably switch to this one later.
It always makes me feel better with open-source lol :D

Open source rules but I prefer holistic solutions that span platforms and devices. PasswordBox has native mobile native apps for iOS and Android that make life a lot easier.

I just write down those I tend to forget on paper. Can't beat full cold storage for passwords. ;)

Yes it is.
For example, an antique paper is better.

I use ccrypt on linux. Basically creates a text file named passwords with one line per password:

bitcointalk.org supersecretpass
mintpal.com xjkuiuieur

Encrypt the file:

ccencrypt passwords

To retrieve a password:

ccat passwords.cpt | grep -i bitcointalk

Create an alias:

alias kk='ccat passwords.cpt | grep -i'

Then you can do:

kk bitcointalk

to retrieve the password for bitcointalk.

Yup, much as I hate the idea of having passwords recorded anywhere but in my head, I realized that offline storage and physical security trumped any kind of on device storage. When you take the bare minimum precautions of unique 20+ random character passwords for each site to gain any reasonable hope of security, they become too difficult to remember all the time.
