Best and safest way to store passwords?

[Drokzid]

I use keepass as a password manager. It is open source and I have studied the source code. Very well designed program imho.

I don't know any of my passwords. I only generate very strong passwords with Keepass. I also can recommend the Keepass Chome Plugin, to easily enter passwords automatically without the need to store it in the browser password safe.

There are plenty of password manager. I have used keeper (for android) in the past and it was great. They have 2fa which keeps your passwords more secure than other apps. You can also put it in encrypted drive or put it in the spreadsheet, encrypt it and then put it in different places.

Hello

Does anyone know or can reccomend the best way to store passwords? Is there a program you can use or a way to encrypt a file with all your passwords on it?

Thanks

The safest way is to remember them  in your mind.

I think this doesn't apply for everyone , because there are some people who don't remember everything at anytime.
Maybe there are other reasons like a person may have many accounts in different websites , that case must be taken in mind too.

I have my passwords stored on a usb key at home and written down on a piece of paper. I wouldn't really trust softwares especially if they are free.

There is plenty of legitimate free software, although the best free software to trust is the open source software like VeraCrypt or OpenPGP.

I would not recommend storing passwords on any service (my only exception would keeping an encrypted file on cloud storage). A strong password or 2FA won’t stop an employee or hacker who decides to check your passwords if they’re synced on a server that you don’t control. However the encrypted spreadsheet is a much better idea.

There are lots of free password encryption apps in the internet just choose on those things which would suit you but usually i dont bother to use those since i do store all of my passwords a Flashdrive and keep it without the knowledge of others even on my family members they wont even know on where i do keep it.Storing it on cloud is really a risky thing for me.

As in the quote, there are lots and lots of apps as well services were available. When we look at those services, most were completely a third party service. If unlucky we might get cheated and it's our own responsibility to keep safe our assets. You can use a file to add each and every password and save it.

Keepass is free and I didn't fully trust the free software too, when I started using it. But now I've been using it for ten years and it has never failed me. So I have full trust in Keepass. But I do double encrypt it and back it up to a cloud service. And I can't wait for decentralized online storage solutions to become mainstream. I'll be happy store my back using them.

As for crypto wallets I also have them printed on paper and on an encrypted USB drive. Access to every important account should be stored in at least two different ways to be secure.

Don't trust any software for passwords. You can try to write them to paper. Yes its a old style but its the safest way to store passwords for big amount of money.
Ledger is suggesting to store seed to paper too

Old school is always better. I do the same and change passwords every 1-2 months. And I use two factor autentification via google autentificator, sms or mail if it possible

I totally agree, writing in a piece of paper is the safest way to store passwords. any software program is risky. they can broke, hacked etc. but nobody can hack paper sheets 

[yusuf98]

In my opinion. other than in store in personal hadrive. for backups i prefer it on cluod drive. but the cloud drive is paid. to make your files more secure. every backup file I update every week.

Password is very sensitive and secretive subject for everyone. So everyone keep their own password in their best security. I think own mind is the best and safest way to keep store password. This way have no risk to stolen password.

I recommend you store it in a notebook/paper that only you can have access. In this way, you can easily monitor and change passwords whenever you want it. Stick to the traditional ones, just like this because if you intend to be more in trend to use software, you might end up losing all of your information, because there is always a risk in using those software. When your mind can't remember it all, use the second option which is jotting those down in a paper.

hiding password is hard btw.
but try to make your passwords are all same.
so you wont forget it .
or you can save your password and store it in your
Laptop via notepad that has a content and just
secretly put you password in the on the corner so
your the only one who will know where you store your password.,

[ternyabin]

I use paper and encrypted flash drive to store my passwords.

No, actually you really do not want to do that. If you were to have all of your passwords the same then if somebody were to get one of them they could access *all* of your accounts/services. Your best bet would be to use a password manager, an encrypted drive, or a paper notebook with your passwords (that should be long and each different).

Nobody can hack a paper. But it can easily get stolen or burned in a fire. And data on paper is not encrypted so anyone that gets it's hand on it gets access to your account.

No way of storing passwords is safest. Every method has it's pros and cons.

The best way to use 2 factor authorization on electronic purses and storing them passwords in a notebook stored in a safe. But even these options may not give you 100% guarantee of security. Scammers are always watching you and in most cases you provide them with information.

i also do that two factor authentification for security store my password both in pc , laptop , phone and also in notebook this is for more security. we cant know what can happen so be careful on password that you owned i dont store my password on my email because i dont think that it can be trusted.

[CryptoWorld87]

Maybe the good way is to right down in a papers and store it in a safe place and wait until u use it just be sure that your the only one know about it

[yura_878]

This program is usually good, but I believe that it is still necessary to store the data on paper

[Bitcocoin]

Don't trust any software for any passwords.

I stored my passwords, private keys and wallet address in my yahoo.email so that everywhere i go i could use them. Yahoo email now have 2 factors authentication in which every time you log in they will ask of your password and the pin that will send to your personal phone, if these two will not meet then it is impossible for you to open your email. This features alone is hard to guess except if you did not memorize it. Just make sure you will not accept the pop up alert requesting you to auto save the password in every computer that you will going to use.

I recommend that you shouldn't rely on apps especially software since it still have security defects and may be easily to be accessed by hackers etc. i suggest try it on your email or traditional way. Try it on a sticky note and make your own code that only you can understand, in that way if somebody tries to read it, they wouldn't get it either way.
