Everything you need to know about passwords and protecting your personal account(s)
Use mnemonics or song lines to create passwords (the security of this method is questionable!)
Use password card/matrix or hash files (security in question!)
Use wijener cipher for passwords
Use constant numbers or HEX color codes to create PIN codes (so you don't have to store them explicitly anywhere)
Use mathematical expressions with constants to create PIN codes
Important passwords are still best kept exclusively in your head so that they are not written down anywhere (high importance passwords).
Use sign zero width
Use passwords generator
✔ Unlike LastPass, Bitwarden does not store addresses in a public format, and does not track the user
✔ As of May 2023, Bitwarden had passed the SOC 2 Type 2 and SOC 3 requirements, as well as tests from Cure53
❌ Has some problems that were later fixed
❌ Bitwarden uses third-party vulnerable servers Microsoft Azure
❌ Autofill is best turned off
❌ В России не работает без VPN! Синхронизация сломана!
