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…
If your memory can’t hold at least two authentication methods at the same time (phone pin and vault master password), you might have bigger problems.
There are ways though. Bitwarden for example allows you to set a pin once you’ve logged in, so you don’t need to enter your master password every time you reboot your device.
If you have it installed on multiple devices, then you easily have a backup device to check your vault if BW on the device you’re using somehow resets and asks you to enter the master password again. You can even store your computer password in your vault and use your phone to see it if your forget. While not advisable, you can set BW on your phone to have the same pin code as your phone, if you really have a hard time memorizing more than one code.
