[GeneralQuestions] Best way to store passwords and other vital info?

So I'm a fan of KeePass for generating and storing passwords, but it becomes a hassle for me to open up my database every time I want to access a market or move BTC. Do you guys have any solutions besides memorizing 100+ bit passwords?

I also feel sort of exposed with KeePass on my HDD as the password for my database has to be something easy to remember, I feel that it could be easily brute-forced.

Any OPSEC freaks out there that can link me to some ace tutorials for encrypting a HDD?

Good security means you have to compromise. If you want the best OPSEC it's going to become tedious but if you can get your OPSEC to a hight standard then you are better protected in the long run and believe me, that's something you want.

I guess you could try memories them all, but good luck with that buddy ahaha.

Anyway, find and encrypt a USB and store your generated password on there. Keep the USB someone safe but hidden. That's the best way.

Look up veracrypt. It's actually better than true crypt and their website has a tutorial for encrypting your whole hard drive

Easy to remember does not mean short. Just use a sentence or a string of dictionary words. "Just use a sentence or a string of dictionary words" has 236.5 bits of entropy!

Also, if you cared about OPSEC you wouldn't be doing this stuff on your normal PC.

Come on, it's not that hard to open it up. For an easy to remember password use this http://world.std.com/~reinhold/diceware.html

write your info on a piece of paper and lock it in a safe

write it on a piece of paper or memorise it with a sentence spelling it out like they do with the word because when children learn to spell it: Big Elephants Cant Always Use Small Exits

i use a keepaass db with a strong master passphrase and an additional key file, both stored on an encrypted USB stick with a different strong passphrase. i keep that usb on my person at all times and backup the db periodically but the keyfile never leaves the pendrive and obv i only plug it into trusted machines running my own OS. memorizing strong passphrases is not all that difficult, there are techniques that can be practized and will come in handy in many situations. here's an example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Method_of_loci

Get TAILS. Make a USB stick with a persistent volume and store your keypass database there. This won't make it any easier as you will now have to reboot your computer and type in your TAILS password before even having access to your keypass database but it will be much more secure from casual snooping. If you just want to browse a market don't bother to login to your account just use bugmenot:bugmenot

Why not just PGP encrypt a text file. That's what PGP is for
