OP, sorry for hijacking your thread, but I need some opinions.
I store my passwords in a text file (over three hundred passwords) in a non-OS drive on my PC.
I usually just copy paste when logging at any site, so I don't think I should worry about keyloggers, right?
My password is a random 8-15 characters alphanumeric+symbol combo, so that's pretty secure, right?
Trojans typical only focuses on OS drives, right?
Some keyloggers can read the information in your clipboard. If you want to reduce the effectiveness of
some of these keyloggers, you should probably opt in for using a password manager. Keepass has a Two Channel AutoType feature, which can avoid some problems with keyloggers, however not all. It's a much better approach than your current method.
Thank you Welsh.
One follow up question. How easy is it to compromise Keepass? Are there, and would there be, trojans capable of extracting data from Keepass, and does it communicate/send saved passwords to a server somewhere?
Sometimes I wish retinal scanning tech or something along that lines becomes widely adopted and we can completely dispense with passwords.
