    I write it in plaintext then email it to myself. For my email password, I write that down on a sticky note next to my monitor with my webcam pointing towards it with Skype and Zoom always running so I can look at it when I’m not at home. I always make sure to turn 2FA off as well, since that gets annoying and isn’t very convenient.

    I might choose to mirror the webcam stream to a public RTMP stream later, but not sure yet, since I think that might open up some security holes.

    Keepass.

    Backed up in the cloud, with a long password with plenty of non english characters in the password.

    For learning new passwords, I write them down on a note in my wallet, without any explanation of where they lead or what username to use.

      The same basically. For the real paranoid stuff I have the keepassx file in a veracrypt container.

    As an admin for a Linux server, I want to institute a ssh pub key expiration policy for all the users and enforce non-reuse of old keys. Does anyone have a best solution for this?

    Bitwarden/KeePass for MFA (not SMS or email) protected accounts. Pen and paper stored in a fire proof vault for non-MFA and break glass accounts.

      Bottom of keyboard? Are you out of space on your monitor to place additional Post-its with user credentials on them? /s

        Monitor bezel is for the less secure systems. Under the keyboard is for the secure stuff.

        And the really secure systems are in the filing cabinet.

      I would need a small book hidden under my keyboard. My work password safe has approximately 100 entries.

      Got a thrift store keyboard. The pink sticky on the bottom said:

      User: admin

      Pass: password

      I wish I was joking. Someone out there was dumb enough to need a reminder on that one.

    For actual sysadmin stuff? Ansible vaults. Things that are managed otherwise either in ssh blowfish encrypted files or the company 1password thing (not my choice)

      I would never scribble my password on a whiteboard. It’s important to write in large clear letters so I can read it from across the lab.

    KeePassXC. We have an enterprise secret management product, but I don’t think we’re using this functionality yet.

    We use PasswordState at work and KeePassXC for personal passwords.
