What is the point of having a GUID as a password, if you do not need to type it in when you start your computer ?

All my passwords are GUIDs - and I never type them! The idea is that I don't end up with the same password on two different system, so a security failure at the other end only compromises the one site.
I have an application that manages them all for me, and I just copy'n'paste them in. It's a habit now: I need a password for this new site - run GetGUID which is just a C# app to generate a guid and copy it to the clipboard, set the site, save it in the app. The app encrypts the data, so the only password I need to remember is the one for the app.
The PC in in my house, Herself is free to use it if she wants, and there is nothing on there that isn't encrypted that needs to be secure. I have good backups, so why hassle myself with a startup password?

But do you have access to your email from another location/other computer then ? Or to your bank ?
|

My Email is configured to read on my tablet, and my bank I only access from the PC (it's the safest place, given that I know what anti-virus and anti-keylogger stuff is on it).

Do you log your anti-keys ?

No, I flog them.
There's quite a profit to be made selling antikeys - it's just like anti-matter for information.

Well that narrows down the number of passwords we need to try to hack your account! 
We know they're all the same length, and they only contain 0-9 and either A-F or a-f. Depending on what type of GUID you've generated, and whether you generated them all on the same computer, they probably all contain the same prefix too.

Besides what Rage already stated, the XKCD[^] reference.

Ironically, I use passphrases since I came across this XKCD. Works like a charm *.
* The ease to remember part. The secure part I do not know, but I haven't been hacked so far.

Riker has 5 letters in it, doesn't it?

Let me count: R=1, i=2, k=3, e=4, r=5.
Yes, you are right. Five letters.
But I can't give you any BW because the solution must have 7-3 letters.

Not a Trekkie then? I was referring to Riker as Number One, of course. Though, I now see it would have been the wrong answer, not least because that would only be (6,3) I now realise. Obviously getting up an hour earlier to day was a big mistake. I wonder if there are any suggestions for sleep deprivation on Goggle or Bang?

Ah "Will" Riker. Sorry, I didn't got it (maybe because we are quite busy at work day).

You don't need Google for that. Just have a long and good sleep as soon as possible
