Also - if several passwords are required - perhaps relate them to each other to ease memorization? (yes passwords shouldn't be related, but...) | |

| Aug 2, 2019 at 16:56 | comment | added | Draco18s no longer trusts SE | Relevant XKCD regarding writing down passwords. | |
| Aug 2, 2019 at 11:13 | comment | added | user213607 | @ChrisH I saw that suggestion and thought "decoder ring", but the obfuscation could be as simple as incrementing every digit in the passwords by 1. | |
| Aug 2, 2019 at 10:47 | comment | added | Nobody | @mckenzm Completely unlike backdoors. A backdoor is bad pretty much by definition. You are probably thinking of something like giving the key to your front door to a friend. Also in general it's bad to bring up unrelated topics in comments because then people like me feel the need to disagree (instead of just upvoting your comment that writing down passwords is a good idea in some circumstances). | |
| Aug 2, 2019 at 0:14 | comment | added | mckenzm | Storing a hard copy is generally a good idea, as long as it is secured. This is real world mitigation. Like backdoors, everybody speaks against it, but realises the necessity of it. No password, no "miles". | |
| Aug 1, 2019 at 16:32 | comment | added | Chris H | @Ghedipunk obfuscation may be a little optimistic and kids are prone to losing things (and trying to solve the puzzles in their friends' notebooks for ill-advised pranks). But scepticism about one point didn't make a negative for me (+1 in fact) | |
| Aug 1, 2019 at 15:52 | comment | added | Ghedipunk | I'm not sure why this was downvoted... Possibly because of the advice to write passwords down. While not great advice, it's not the worst advice either, and is orders of magnitude better than reusing passwords. Especially if the passwords are obfuscated. (Hopefully a child isn't the target of a state-level-actor. ;-) ) | |
