Forgetting your passwords

[chunkyshanhawk53]

Annoying isn’t it?

Man has two guesses to unlock bitcoin worth $240m

A programmer is trying to remember the password to unlock a digital wallet set up a decade ago.

Aye read about this earlier, why would you write a password of such importance and financial worth on a bit of paper though.

Forget mine all the time, so I have one spreadsheet with them on and just remember one very complex and strong password to open it

The password i use for everything is QWERTY. Never forgotten it once.

QUERTY or QWERTY

Shit I got it wrong. First time ever.

It was worth a few bucks at the time...

Use lastpass for everything now. Lash all my passwords into that.

Still need a master password to access the twat though - which i have forgotten a couple of times now.

Mixture of old car reg you used to have and postcodes with @ thrown in somewhere

7000 times a couple of dollars isn’t loose change though.

Canny deal on offer from that Facebook nerd, you'd be all over that.

 

[Leon Solent]

Hoy it all into NordPass and it does the rest. Only have one password to remember for access.

You can't set many passwords without a mix of characters and upper/lower cases though so how does that work?

I tried to use "beefstew" as my password but it was refused because it wasn't stroganoff.

Same here.

This isn’t the best idea in the world. Have a look at onepassword or password safe instead. The passwords on spreadsheets are notoriously easy to beat.

Same here, but I've got the password for that stored somewhere I can get to - in "code" format. I know the code, but a hacker wouldn't have a clue.

The bloke with the bitcoin needs to find a professional who can backup the data safely and then figure out how to crack it.

Very easy to crack a file like that tbh.
