How I manage passwords without loosing sanity

A lot has been said about passwords being bane of our society. And it is true. However, with some not-so-hard setup of software, it can be made bearable.

The setup starts with *KeePass2 password safe. This is a program that allows you to store arbitrary data, but also specifically usernames, passwords and URLs that can be matched to find your saved password.

It can also generate safe random passwords, set expiration, and a lot more. Oh, and it is multiplatform - it works on GNU Linux, and there is MacOS program (MacPass) that is compatible with the keepass database.

State of software in 2019

It is now year 2019.

Last year has seen some large strides in our technological prowess. All the big companies have AI personal asistants that nobody uses, smartphones in our pockets are more powerful than ever, you can shoot videos in 4k resolution with 120 frames per second, you can see all your friends having fun all over Instagram and Facebook and be jealous, you are evermore connected to the internet (well, a subset of internet, really), all the “news” is even more accessible so you know what to think, it is surely great time to be alive.
