How do you manage your passwords?
We need more and more passwords and there is an incredible amount of applications that offer to manage them in a "safe" with a single password, often free for a device, but as soon as it is necessary. synchronize with several devices: pc + laptop ++, you have to pay a license.
However, we can get by with free software.
I share an idea that seems simpler to me than some paid solutions:
Download 7 zip https://www.7-zip.fr/, the encryption is very robust and open source.
There are versions for different platforms, for android https://www.android-zone.fr/zarchiver-s ... chiers-7z/ without ads.
Even the cnil advertises it https://www.cnil.fr/fr/comment-chiffrer ... epertoires
Small tutorial
Create a directory that will contain the archive, I called it "words" and the archive "! Motdp.7z" (the! Is so that it stays in the lead in alphabetical order, otherwise we do what 'we want
).I use the notepad to register "user", "password" on 2 lines, we can also add other lines like the address of the site and to finish register under the name of the site, the extension ". txt "is automatically added with the Windows notepad .. (You can register several in a row.)
Then, select the names of the files, with the right button of the mouse open the contextual menu and choose "7z" then "add to the archive ..."
This opens a configurable window, like the following image.
I chose not to compress, unnecessary for small text files.
By setting as indicated, do not forget the password which will be the only one to remember.
By checking the 2 boxes: "Show password" and "Encrypts file names", which is requested each time you try to open the archive
"Erase files after compression" erases the file in plain text, as soon as it is saved.
the settings are kept, so you no longer need to modify each time a new mdp is added.
I thought about the text file, because it is automatically organized in alphabetical order or the order of your choice, and is even displayed in the browser, if you don't have a notepad application on your smartphone.
The archive file can be put on the "cloud" and synchronized to be read and modified from several devices (I haven't thought about how yet?)
I stop there, because there is certainly more to say ...
