For my login password, KeePass passphrase, and any other password I have to type and not copy/paste, I use something I can remember and type easily, but I still use a mix of upper, lower, numbers and symbols. For any password that I can copy/paste or autofill, I let the manager generate a strong random password with upper, lower, numbers, and symbols as long as the site accepts. There are browser plugins for the major browsers to allow for integration and auto-fill of credentials.Ħ. I don't recommend keeping unencrypted copies of your passwords, but if it gives you peace of mind (in case you lose your database or passphrase), you can do this. It remembers what database I opened last and opens it next time by default.Ĥ. I use KeePass2 and I just have it docked/favorited in my taskbar. Definitely keep backups of your database though, on different devices or computers, just in case.ģ.

If you want to sync it with other computers, like Windows systems, put it in a folder shared by Samba to make it easy to get to.

You can put the database wherever you like, but in a folder under your $HOME is best. You could read the documentation and FAQ on the KeePassXC website to get answers.Ģ.
