Password Strength

For sensitive, money-related things, I use randomly choosen combinations of letters, numbers and symbols, not shorter than 20 characters, and 2 way authentication.

With more laidback puposes, I indeed use easy to remember words. Forum accesses for example.

The first i store on usb sticks, i never use any sort of password managers for them and do not save them encrypted or else on hd or online. Paste and copy, after the transaction done the stick gets disconnected physically and goes back to the safe. System gets a cold start afterwards and browser gets cleaned. I do not allow cookies much andstoring of typed in content. I also do such actions only on a second, hardened system running linux. Windows is a lousy choice and keyloggs any entry and phones it home to MS and NSA.

I NEVER would do banking via smartphone again, or shopping. My smartphone holds no personal or sensitive data or files whatever.

Ikeep it simpler with uncritical purposes and very tough and uncomfortable with sensitive purposes.
