Kaspersky hacked? Not likely!

In any event, they recommend that you NOT use your actual passwords, and I didn't. I entered one with the same format as the ones that I use, but with different letters, numbers and symbols.

These are the type of passwords I use Machine language.
For critical web sites like banking. Can't be typed on a keyboard.

I use Axcrypt to encrypt a normal word document which contains all my passwords plus some tricky links to get onto the sites. Not only that but it also contains most other personal information which is a pain to remember, like family passport data (for booking family air tickets), date of births, alarm passwords and instructions, internet banking stuff and so on.

As a further tribute to my paranoia, the stuff in the word file is written half coded so that it only means something to me; noisy being the dog, nippy the cat etc…

Then with one password I can get to all this stuff on any of my devices.

Probably unnecessary but heh, I do it anyway

Interesting - did something highly similar on an encrypted Excel...
