Keepass-based clients are available also for Android, iOS, etc.
I recommend it. Made life easier. I got a 3 month password rotation on one machine I need to use monthly (like in “once a month”). Fuck you, I’m just clicking on create new password based on previous password (i.e. rules) and never even try to remember it.
The security charade is strong with this one.
Just in case anyone is curious and hasn’t come across it - yes I have seen actual login systems in commercial use that enforce a uniqueness constrain on user passwords, so that no two users can have the same one.
Add to the list: systems like Microsoft’s that don’t let you ever re-use old passwords. No, I didn’t change it for security reasons, I just changed it because I couldn’t remember it, and now I want to change it back.
No argument there, but at least they have excellent fraud prevention, and they know where I am traveling without me telling them, so if anyone does try to use my card or anything else, they have always caught it right away.
Pro-Tip:
If the password rules suck, there’s nothing at all stopping you from making a really complicated user name to add a layer of complexity.
A certain bank (“what’s in your wallet”) did this, so now my username for their website is something like s&jfb%dXX^12. Good luck to anyone using brute-force to crack both the u/n AND the p/w!
One of the other things is that the more rules that there are the smaller the search space. Ideally password rules should give you an allowable list of characters to use and a length. Excluding dictionary words and dictionary words with character replacements is good practice in general as those will be searched first often in brute force attacks. But a rule that says “One capital letter” and then refuses a password because you use two capital letters (which I have seen!) drastically reduces the search space required to brute-force passwords.
Password managers seem to work okay for browsers, but when I try to ssh into various servers from a terminal shell I haven’t come up with a decent solution without storing the pwd in plain text which is a BIG no-no at our company.
The worst part is that those rules don’t really make the password any harder for a computer to guess (adding only a bit or two to the search space), but they make them much much harder for a person to remember.
My personal rule is: If I make a password and can’t remember it a week later, it’s a bad password. If a computer could guess my password before the heat death of the universe, it’s a bad password.
Those are the only two rules you need. I like to make phrases using words that sound like English words but aren’t in the dictionary. A cromulent Jabberwocky password.
For example: Reggahol dancied up Sinisfoot
It makes an imagine your head that you can use to recall it later, but would be very hard for a computer to replicate without an imaginative AI, and even then the search space is nearly infinite. But you only have to have that image of the drunk guy with two left feet having a ball to remember the password. Everybody will be different of course which is great because it makes the search space that much larger. Even though the password is long, it takes just as long to type as one of those awful P4s5w0Rd5! type passwords because all of the modifier keys slow you down.
That’s an unbelievably misguided rule. It crushes the search space tremendously. So many bits of entropy lost and nobody is going to be able to remember their password.
I remember one that had character classes (lower case letters, upper case letters, numbers, punctuation) and didn’t allow for more than two characters from any one class to be together. However, at least in this case the password was more of a backup since the primary login was your CAC, so it’s not so bad. It did mean that you were pretty much forced to write your password down though (which was against policy), especially since it had to be changed every 3 months.
Some smarter sites allow you to write your password down so long as you store it in a secure location like your office safe.
The Oatmeal had a comic about this at one point, I remember the line:
“Must contain at least one uppercase letter, one lowercase letter, one number, one special character and one ancient Mayan hieroglyph.”
KeyPass- it’s open source, there’s a portable version you can toss on a thumb drive, and it works.
For the enterprise types that are looking for a password manager to manage the 654135413354135437438789453418431+ passwords for their service accounts, applications, and whatnot, I recommend Thycotic Secret Server.
So I was curious about this so I ran the numbers. Using the “American Standard” dictionary that ships with my OS (235970 words) 8,128 of the 17,576 possible three digit sequences are disallowed. That’s 46.245%, or almost half of the search space. Basically one bit of entropy lost AND it forces the passwords to be incredibly difficult to memorize.
If anybody wants to check my work I used the following code: threedigcheck.c
For reference here are the disallowed sequences:

Mostly I just want the rules clearly laid out before I waste time and neurons coming up with a password. Needs a special character and can’t be previously used? Ok, not a fan but at least tell me ahead of time.
That’s sometimes a misguided security requirement. They don’t want the attackers to know what the rules are, but of course the hackers will figure them out quickly anyway and it makes life hell for regular users.
Swordfish? Every password was swordfish! Whenever anyone tried to think of a word that no one would ever guess, they always chose swordfish. It was just one of those strange quirks of the human mind. That explained the guilt, anyway. A plot. Another damn plot, in a city full of plots. Did he need to know about plots? Anyway, he knew about this one. Morphic Street. The famous Morphic Street Conspiracy. Ha. He pushed the greasy scrap into a pocket and then hesitated." -Terry Pratchett: Night Watch.
