Concepts

  1. 2 factor authentication - using an app such as Google Authenticator to scan codes from websites, which are used to provide a time-sensitive one-time password (TOTP)
  2. SSH key pair - creating a private and public key pair for logging into a secure location by entering the public key. The private key is stored on a local computer?

How to Store Passwords

  1. Keepass is a good database for storing passwords. As long as you have a backup, you are good to go. Keepass can use a long password which is used to unlock the keepass file.
