Most of the "advice" people are offering here amounts to "I put a super strong steel door on my house," and then permanently leave their windows open. "I keep my passwords in Excel" Uh huh. How many folks are still using the password their wifi router shipped with? How many update their wifi encryption scheme? Do you even know what kind of encryption it uses? If someone wants your passwords, they'll wait for you to leave the house. "I keep my passwords on pieces of paper." Now you're safe until someone breaks into your house, OR you have a fire/flood/earthquake. Or worse, start getting dementia and think "I can't remember where I wrote that down!"NO passwords should be easily guessable. Not the vault, not your accounts. The scheme the author provides here is a joke to hackers. Get out your dice and look up "Diceware". It's a free scheme that is far better than using first letters from songs, prayers, sonnets, etc. RANDOMNESS is your only ally! If there's a "clever" [logical] method to your password selection, it can be QUICKLY determined by 2023 computers. Using first letters and a "3" to replace "E"? I think that's 1985 calling, they want their clever scheme back.
