I don't need any fancy tricks. My password is "password".

Oops. I shouldn't have told you that, huh?

[Kickass Conservative]

Mine is “supercalifragilisticexpialidocious”, but “password” was my first choice.

Oh yeah, it’s in spellcheck too. Gotta love FR.

Don’t bother. Use this, and be sure to go into the database settings and have it use Secure Desktop when you enter the master password. There is also a portable version.

If I catch a virus will the subconscious reveal the password to it?

[mnehring]

As long as you have eight characters and one is a capital, you should be fine.

No, but it will reveal it to Leo DiCaprio and the rest of his Inception crew.

Thanks, good info. People better take their passwords SERIOUSLY now, or you'll pay the consequences.

You're welcome.

One default setting that should be changed besides Enter Master key on Secure Desktop (in Options, not database settings which I said in the first post), is the delay/transformation rounds on the Security tab of the Database settings. Setting that to a second or two should defeat any kind of brute force attack. Then you can safely store a copy of the database online somewhere.

Then there is obvious stuff like close after x seconds of inactivity, etc.

>"it is literally impossible to consciously disclose it "

And literally easy as a simple shot to subconsciously spill the beans.

Bump memory/password

[UnbelievingScumOnTheOtherSide]

My password is


























I forgot.

[The Duke]

No matter the measures one takes to protect a password, whether it’s storing it to memory, thumb drive, or a carefully hidden piece of paper in a hardly-ever-used book, it is still possible to get a Jack Bauer-like character to force that person to reveal the password or its location.

In "the business" they actually have a name for this technique. Appropriately enough it's called the "rubber hose" technique.
