LXer: Infographic: The Paradox of Too Many Passwords

Employees have to deal with too many passwords and it's gotten so bad that in the name of making your systems secure, you may be less secure -- because employees could be writing them down to remember them. Hard to be less secure than that.

I agree on this heavily. You're required to have so many unique passwords, that most of mine are kept in notes in Outlook at work (can only use Linux at home). At home they're at least kept in an encrypted file by keepassx (on both linux and windows).

For me, KeepassX on Windows and Linux. 1Password on iOS.

I'd rather not bother with an app like Keepass myself; I save mine in a GPG encrypted plain text file.

I never write down a password. You should either use a password manager, or some other method of remembering them. Honestly, I wouldn't have more than 2-3 passwords.

I use a lot of services that require passwords, and I'll not be resuing passwords so that means more than 2-3 for me lol.

I don't really reuse passwords, but I do remix them.

Ah, I see.

Same here! Heck a lot safer that way! :hattip:

I use KeepassX. It's nicely cross-platform.
