after the adobe hack, i've been wondering about ways to encrypt my passwords.
what software is available? what do you guys use?do you just write them down in a notepad?

yeah, the adobe fiasco prompted me to change em up more often. i've been on good ol pen and paper & stash it away in a safe spot.

do you just randomly hit the keyboard and write it down?

I also use Mac's built in Password Assistant to verify it's strength. You can use it to generate passwords too

I generally apply PDF passwords and permissions.
Simply create PDF and add a secured password.http://help.adobe.com/en_US/acro…
Or you can use this little gem:

1. Use a password manager, such as 1Password (for Mac, Windows, iPhone, Android).
2. Generate a password using your password manager when signing up for an account or changing your password.
3. Log in to services using the password manager's autofill shortcut, so that you don't have to remember the passwords.
4. Sync your passwords to your phone. (1Password and LastPass both have iOS and Android apps.)
5. Use a long, memorable passphrase (words and spaces) for your email account so that you can reset passwords for other accounts.
6. Turn on two-factor authentication for your email account if available. (Gmail supports this, as does Fastmail.)
7. Once you have all your passwords in 1Password, use the "audit" feature to find passwords you're reusing across different sites and services, and change any that are the same.That way, every password you use will be unique, and you don't need to remember any of them except for your 1Password password and your email password. You can also safely store client passwords this way.

Does anyone use apple's keychain? Any issues?
Should I just create a spreadsheet and keep it on a USB?
