Okay.
See here’s the thing:
You have to remember:
- BIOS password (you’re supposed to set one, right? I mean… so your that sibling/roomate/kids/family doesnt mess around and replace your OS with a malicious OS)
- Full Disk Encryption password and then finally
- The user password
Like that kinds breaks my brain
Do y’all just put those in your password manager… then only have to remember
- Master Password to password vault and
- Phone lockscreen
Is this the “Standard Operating Procedure”?
But if you are paranoid and set a full alphanumeric password/passphrase… then you have to remember two differen passphrases…
Or couldn’t you just simplify it to like just ONE, like:
Can you have the same password for Phone Lockscreen as the Password Vault Master Password?
So that you Only ever need to remember exactly ONE password
Is this a good idea?
My head hurts from this…
Idk how to do this…
I wanna simplify my digital stuff… my stuff is so disorganized…
What phone are you using?
Edit: I hit enter too quickly.
The reason I ask is some phones can make a pin very secure. For example, Pixels’ security chip will rate-limit how often a new pin can be entered. So a 6 digit pin has one million combinations and after the 139th failed attempt only one pin can be tried within a 24 hour period. This will take 27 years to enter just 10% of the possible combinations.
I have an iPhone that the carrier gave me for free as some sort of promotion thing, and I have a secondary android phone (Motorola) for using some FOSS stuff and sideloading since iPhone doesn’t allow it.
Right now I’m just remembering 2 lockscreens… but maybe I’m just gonna focus on trying to remember the main one then like put the other lockscreen into the password manager.
