It's time to change passwords, habrayuzer%%! :)

The other day I decided to make another change all their passwords, since quite a long time they use it.

Broke. Honestly. Terribly broke invent new proof passwords, memorize them. And we must try to come up with an individual password for each service. And so every few months ...



For a while I used the password map.

Pros:
card can be used openly, after two weeks of active use of the card passwords like Sj5v9Hx3GF confidently memorized by heart.

Cons:
a lot of long passwords to think and remember the lazy, for each site / service the more lazy to invent a separate password, you can lose the card (it should be a backup, yes!), And the most terrifying: every few months to repeat this entire process! uzhs ...

The idea is this: for each service - MAXIMUM own strong password, which only allows service. That is, if the site supports passwords up to 200 characters, which include all Unicode characters, then use just such a password.

Overkill? If possible, it should be used!

To solve this problem, I decided to use a password manager KeePass. In general, I had long been used for just a simple password storage, but today I decided to use it to its fullest.

So.
Open the site you want, find out the passwords for this site: maximum length, use of special characters !@#$%^&*_+, all sorts of brackets, Russian letters, ansi-character, etc ...



Then create a new KeePass entry, open it and fill in: username, website address, the URL change the password on the site (then very useful!), etc ...
In the same open password generator, set the parameters of the generation reserve as a new profile, and click OK. Everything!
In the future to change their passwords to the site using the saved profile, you can be in a couple of clicks:)
"All actions are reduced to a single action:" Copy of KeePass - Paste into your browser. Or even simpler: put the cursor in the Login box, click AutoDialer in KeePass, and voila. Please visit zhmyaknut "save password" and generally forget it.



Most importantly, try to test the new password to the wrong account, or pinpoint soap recovery passvord. Because there are such sites, where the password change page, for example, takes ansi characters, and the page refuses to login. I already know:)

There is a plug-in connection KeePass and Firefox, but I have yet nebylo time to deal with them. I guess that with this plugin live in the internet even easier. Maybe someone will write about it in comments ...



What we do in the end? Big Mountain positive:

1) Sure, a strong password. For example, to the DropBox's my password like $ e ¬? $ 3 ¬ r? 6> F? C] a3KFcAaeXat. # AN? ® z} 1?? 4O? 28 ° X? 57? EO? AAW
this I'm a psycho! yeah, so what? :)) (C)
2) All their new passwords, I have never seen, so the dream will never say
3) hammer head of me, too, now do not need
4) On the planned change passwords from a dozen accounts will leave no more than 5 minutes of your time
5) Keyloggers are powerless - KeePass encrypts the database, its memory and clipboard
6) If someone learns your password on one account, other accounts will remain intact.

There is only one wish: backup, backup and backup again.

All:)
