A Trick To Save Your Passwords On Notepad

[Gogol]

Not a good idea, because if someone bruteforces your password string, chances of cracking the password just by removing strings from it, is pretty high. It will take less than 10 tries for a cracking function to do this, which would take no time.

better not store password in plaintext atall. As crazy as it may sound, you could use passworded zip for storing the password if you were really broke.

nice share buddy.. but i tried that password but i could not login to your blackhatworld account. so probably you lied to us

Problem is with websites they all have different password requirements, some need special characters, others a mix between numbers and letters, others need a fixed length, etc etc.. so it's hard to set a rule that works for all.
I'm using firefox password manager with a master password, one of the most secure way out there to store passwords.

This is actually very smart, I also recommend to use different passwords for different websites, how would one keep track of them?
Simple, just take the first word of the company or URL and put it first in all passwords.

 

[HustleTong]

It's still a good tactic if you add a character at the beginning and end

Very stupid and easy to crack, just use a password Manager.

If you guys think this is a clever trick, wait till you hear this one.

Do you always lose your car keys? No problem!

Simply leave your car keys on the passengers seat and just change the logo! For example if you have a Honda Civic just put a Toyota sticker on your keys that way the robbers won’t try and steal your car!

Many people are asking for easy ways to save their password and I can tell you that you can save it on Notepad like I do with this trick and without being worry about it.
First of all, you should make rules on the passwords and use it all the time.
So let's say that my rule is adding 2 random characters at the end of each password. My real password is ABCd45f78 and when I write it on the notepad I write ABCd45f78P3
So you will always ignore the last 2 random values that you add to all your passwords.
Or maybe make it more complicated and add 1 random value at the beginning and one or two at the end or even after 2 values you add the random wrong value.
Hope this will help someone.

If hackers were to hack your computer they would notice a pattern with your passwords in your notepad file. These guys can use computers to crack the sequence. The best place to store passwords is in your head.

[Visionary9]

There is one other option you can use...
You can save password like add any small digit in you password
Eg:
Real password: AAbbCC147DD
Save Password: AAbbCC369DD [meaning just add 2 in all numeric digit]

Interesting trick? I guess you don't like password managers?

Good idea. But there seems to be a problem here.

If you adopt the same pattern for all your passwords, say you have 30 of them in the notepad, some smartass could guess the trick behind it.

Say, you have @3firstpassword78, @3secondpassword78, @3thirdpassword78, don't you think some folks with a hacker bent of mind can detect where you're coming from and remove the suffix and prefix part to get your real passwords?

We would definitely need a hacker-proof system.

Thats just an idea,
you can trick this method as per your requirnments.

there are lot of things you can do like

in line 1, first cherect is wrong, in 2nd line, 2nd character is wrong and so on.
other then this, you can alway add website first 2-3 character at a fix point, and so on.

And always use 2-factor authentication if possible google authenticator so even if someone knows your pass, you are safe.

just keep them in excel and keep them on 2 USB sticks in case one dies. The same idea just offline, password protect your spreadsheets

 

[Juhku]

I wouldn't personally trust that at all.
Not only is it easy to crack, but it takes much more effort than just using a password manager. Brute-forced with word lists.

I'd rather use BitWarden (open-source) and host it on my own servers. And that's where I store pretty much all my logins, credit cards and (crypto) private keys.
BitWarden master password made with bashing my head to my keyboard a few times and taking the output to a physical paper.

10 tries?
There is more than 9999 combination of 2 characters that contain numbers and alphabet
You can make it even harder adding 3

Interesting trick? I guess you don't like password managers?

How do you change your password manager from one pc to another?
How pass manager protected?
With a seed password right?
What if that one password cracked?
You will be fucked and all your passwords are on the hacker hands

For example let's say it is abcdef123CRAP

Since people already know what you are doing thanks to this thread, if someone really targetted you; they could just remove chars from the password.. e.g.

bcdef123CRAP
cdef123CRAP
ef123CRAP
123CRAP
abcdef123CRA
abcdef123CR
abcdef123C
abcdef123


That should solve your password. It does not have to be every possible way out there. They are just removing sub-string(s) from the original string.

If I understood you correctly that is.
