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…
Yes, you do still have to remember a handful of passwords, but remembering three or four is a much smaller burden than remembering upwards of 50 or 100. (This might seem excessive, but my password manager tells me I have at least that many.)
If that opens up brain space, make those three or four as long and complicated as possible.
String together things only you know and will always remember, but throw in a few random symbols to make the job harder if you accidentally let any of the regular facts and figures slip.
