RE: What I Have Learned So Far in One Week...10 Tips and Tricks

Yes you could, but seems like hard work to me.
You need to keep them safe. From what is the question.
a) virus
b) hard drive failure
c) hackers
To me all 3 are covered if I just copy to an external USB stick (that I only plug in on rare occasions, and only after I turn off my internet connection)
The paper idea works.....until coffee gets spilled, ink fades or cleaner "tidies up". ie everything has a weak link in the process.
Just have to think through & see what works for you.

@fred777bear I just want to kiss you man!!

I noticed something that looks a bit strange for me. I found all 4 passwords that you were referring to. Those are all different than the password I now use to login. So there actually is a fifth password or do I miss something?

  1. they are "Keys"
  2. There is only 1 password, it makes keys
    There are 4 x public (start with STMxxx) & 2 x private keys (start 5Jxxxxx).
    I said 5 as the memo one is redundant ATM & 5 makes people LOOK for the 2 private ones!
    the private ones should remain just that!

Yes Yes Yes Yes >> For some reason that TOTALLY stumps me, the DEFAULT is to log new users in with their master key.....talk about dumb dumb dumb (IMHO)

So yes by default new users are "exposed" from day 1!
please follow steps...

  1. ensure you saved your password (or make a new one & gen new keys if you think you have stuffed up and save that / them)
  2. save all keys to a notepad file
  3. save that file on an offline USB etc
  4. log out & back in using the POSTING key
