@CK I think that nobody are safe dude still I don't remember who I used when MDL suffer attack but remember that I follow Daz instructions so I'm sure I'm secure
Everybody should know by now that one should be suspicious of anything on the web. So I'd say it serves right those who trust their passwords to an app written by someone else. Yet, the answer is simple. Just make a word document protected by one password you can remember. Put all your passwords in that document. For convenience, you can tick being kept logged in on boards.
Agree 100% - I use an Excel Document, as I find it easier to use, obviously password protected. I also create an encrypted RAR file containing the protected Excel File with a longer password, and send that to my GMAIL account. Might have to use a different extension. I have read that a password protected WORD/EXCEL file can be cracked in seconds by an expert, but a long password protected encrypted RAR file is more secure. Would be interested if one of the experts would give their opinion.
From what I know, passwords of old Office editions up to 2003 can be cracked. But the 128 bit key protection of later editions is secure. Provided of course you don’t use trivial passwords.

Enlightening article, thanks, though I was not talking about protection from the NSA, FBI & Co, who have the most sophisticated means at their disposal. If fact, I’ve always maintained that there’s no full security on the web, you can’t stop all monitoring, and the harder you try to disguise yourself, e.g. by using proxies, the more likely you’ll attract the attention of these people. All you can do is wear a tin hat. I’ve always maintained the above, e.g. here; https://forums.mydigitallife.net/th...ing-in-Win10?p=1320737&viewfull=1#post1320737 Your article supports my positions. But here I was referring to individual hackers cracking your password specifically in word and excel. And unless you’re marked as a national security threat, you should be safe with newer Office editions. In fact, I even contend you should be safer than using any password managing app written by someone else.
Using a book may not protect against a burglar stealing computer and book, unless the book is well hidden elsewhere, in which case it's inconvenient to use by the owner himself.
Think about what you said above. Many of the 3 letter agencies "geniuses" who figured out how to crack that encryption have been "rescued" from prison terms. If those people figured it out, who is to say that someone who is smart enough to avoid capture can't ? In fact considering all the so called leaks and hacks in the past few years I posit that they already have.
Never, ever use a password manager. Find ONE password you like, and stick to it. If you can't remember it tape it to the back of your keyboard. I am completely serious. I have two passwords. That is it.
Wrong Wrong Wrong Wrong Wrong Wrong How are you ever going to find your password taped to the back of your keyboard?....You must tape it on the front
