I recently tried out a decentralized private messaging tool, it didn’t ask for my personal information to register.
Instead, it only asked me to create a username and set a password, after which it provided me with a mnemonic passcode. (I had never used a mnemonic passcode before, but I learned that it’s a web3 or decentralized type of thing.)
On their FAQ page says “The Mnemonic Passcode is your ONLY SOURCE of backup in a scenario where your device breaks down or becomes unusable due to any reason. In such cases, all you need is your Mnemonic Phrase to recover all your account information. It must be copied, screen-shotted, or written down and kept in a safe and secret place until it is needed.”
Does Mnemonic Passcode more secure than usual password? Plus, is there any other ways to keep you mnemonic phrase?
Instead of * warden, just use the tried and trusted KeePass, no need to run your own server. KeePassXC is a nice open-source alternative client, and KeePassDX is it’s Android equivalent. You can keep your password file in sync with other devices by using your favorite cloud backup or sync tool. The best part is, KeePass supports auto-type, which *warden and other cloud-based password managers don’t. Auto-type is handy when you want to input your password into a program that’s not a web page, or you’re accessing something via remote desktop etc.
