well i was more thinking of a non hacker getting physical access to my house - i've been broken into before and seen a locksmith open our front door, it's not difficult - and chancing upon the keys to my digital life.

I'm wondering how often I should change my One Password. I haven't in a couple years.

everyone should write down their master password and never change it unless they have very good reason to

yes but have some finesse about it. For instance write a short story in which the passphrase begins at the word count coinciding with your birth year, and the number of words matching your birth month.

just spitballing
honestly most people would be best served with a paper password notebook that at least isn't super duper obvious if anyone does burglarize you (like not laid next to the computer titled "passwords!")

Passwords should be jumbled up ILX memes only

nah, that defeats the purpose of writing it down, then you wouldn't remember neither the password nor the silly riddle you made up

i just want a professional code cracker on the case when i bite it(i don't think people need to be bequeathing master passwords... the bank and whatever else important will deal with the family)

i have to have a written "data security plan" as a professional licensing requirement.
i have pieces of paper with passwords on them stored in a different place than "next to my computer"i recently compiled the passwords written on multiple scraps of paper onto two pieces of paper that are stored in a secure place
i think my written data security plan is supposed to be more formal ... also, I don't think making a post about it to me ilxor chums would count to the regulatory authority idk

also: i don't have touch ID enabled on any of my devices in case a thief steals my stuff and cuts off my finger like in way too many movies/tv episodes
