The password managers are: KeepassDX (Far Left), KeepassXC (PC version of local), Proton Pass (Better privacy) and Bitwarden (Far Right). Please note that bitwarden does some data collection. See their privacy policy here and their privacy spy rating here.

    I wonder why more people don’t use their brain instead? I mean, a simple system, will make it easy to have unique passwords for every site/app, and for you to be able to remember them…

      Because your brain is terrible at remembering random data. Your simple system is extremely unlikely to produce passwords of any particular quality.

      Also, I have 170 passwords saved. I don’t know how many of those live in the category of “once every six months”, which is too infrequent to remember easily.

        And using a simple system means that once somebody figures out the system, all your passwords become compromised potentially.

          True. But you don’t figure out the system, and if you did, the system could be changed in a matter of minutes. To figure out the system, you would need more than 3 samples of the passwords, at any given moment, and the likelihood of that happening is just about the same as your password manager being hacked, having a vulnerability or you giving people access to it.

        Please talk about your own brain, because you have no evidence that shows, that our brain is terrible at remembering. It’s actually quite good.

        That you you can’t produce a quality password with a system, that’s on you. I can, easily.

        It’s easy to remember a thousand password, if your system is good.

        I can see, that your mind is made up, so further debate is fruitless. But it doesn’t change the fact, that I’m right here. 😉

        There really isn’t too much room for predictability. I guess you just don’t know how to make a strong password on your own, and that’s fair. But please don’t try to tell people that it can’t be done, since it’s been done for decades.

        And unlike password managers, this system can’t be hacked - or corrupted, so people will stand there without their passwords to a 100 apps and homepages…

            That’s not true, but you are free to believe that. So go use your password manager, which can be hacked, and then you all of your passwords are known.

            I don’t mind people using their password managers. But I can see that some people really can’t handle, that I have a better system. Maybe because they feel a bit stupid right now - or something - who knows?

                Good to hear that every expert elected you to be their spokesperson. Trying to borrow ethos from other experts is just sad. But do you know why they will often say that? Because they know that a lot of people otherwise would use 1234 or abcd… So that’s the easy advice. The good advice would be to teach people to make a strong and memorable password.

                Well, what might your arrogance cost you, since you are sitting here, trying to pass yourself of as spokesperson for **EVERY **expert in cybersecurity?

    To the people in here, that gets rude and condescending when I try to tell them, that there’s a better way to remember passwords, here’s just one page that explains how it might be done. And yes, this is as unbreakable as random passwords. And you can easily make part of password change for the site or app you use it for… But hey, feel free to keep attacking me, for knowing something that you didn’t…
