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?
Yes, tell me about it! The fact that services just do not tell you their requirement sometimes really sucks. I mean, if you cant do easy and you have a vault then you can go generated for those sites and done. I do have some site specific passwords too but mostly they’re easy to remember and insanely long.
And then you use a generator and vault, but there’s some stupid caveat like “you can’t use the ^ character.”
