This is a good idea. Simply use an address as your password, they are random and secure. Plus you can keep it in a list or address book and no one would think it's a password.

Great idea but if more people hear about it, it will be less effective in the future.

If one were to do this, one would be better off using an unused address.... that is to say, one that is not in the blockchain.

Buy a TREZOR! Premier BTC hardware wallet. If you're reading this, you should probably buy one if you don't already have one. You'll thank me later.

Block chain as password dictionary. Good idea.

Did you find my posts helpful? Did I say say something nice? Your generosity is much appreciate.

Store your password into the block chain using bitcoin scripting.

And I have even tryed to argue here how insecure it is to present paper wallets and casascius coins? Huh. If it is not a sarcasm then you guys are hopeless. Really. No single hope that you are really involved in cryptography. You are all obsessed by recklessness. Looks like there is some sort of selection among the users of this forum. Only careless people are allowed to post here.

A bitcoin address is a perfectly reasonable password - unless it appears on the blockchain.


Here's one:  19tQAuDxH8269C1MnNkPA47Kuvf5RzEHZy

and the private key: 5J7FqskNzixn9KuZrkf4saQRkzphWMRMvDdQCxk1Bh6WQYu6egG

Either make excellent passwords - feel free to use them

Just in case it wasn't clear, I was being sarcastic. Please do not use the blockchain as your password notebook.

I use part of my vanity address 1234Ff3D19v5JPHfUXw9PBimQc9LGfa6iN. It's also my luggage combination.

Any significantly advanced cryptocurrency is indistinguishable from Ponzi Tulips.

I remember a time when the password was something you could actually remember  Roll Eyes
It's in the name: pass-word.
Why call it a password if it's not a word?

I always thought it was a "word", meaning,  concatenation of characters from a given alphabet.

Worst suggestion ever!

bitpop it's a good idea to choose a password.
Nonetheless security through obscurity is not secure enough
and considering you have to store the password somewhere anyway,
this doesn't increase security
