Siguran sam da ste ovo čuli mnogo puta prije dok vam nije dosadilo to slušati. Potrebne su vam jake jedinstvene lozinke za svaki od vaših računa. Nemojte koristiti istu lozinku više od jednom. Nemojte koristiti osobne podatke i neka lozinke budu što je moguće duže.

To znači da nema lozinki kao što su 12345 ili abcde . Ili klasična lozinka^(password) . Ako ih koristite, dobro, nemojte pitati sebe ili druge zašto ste hakirani. Umjesto toga trebate nešto potpuno zapanjujuće poput g6J2_a1##@RlQ56..99+*B .

Ali problem tada postaje to što vi niste robot koji bi možda mogao namotati takve nerazumljive lozinke. Zato vam je potreban upravitelj lozinki, a budući da ja apsolutno volim softver otvorenog koda, moj izbor upravitelja lozinki je KeePass .

Ima i moju lojalnost jer ima prijenosnu verziju pa stane na moj USB stick.

Postavljanje KeePass-a po prvi put^{(Setting Up KeePass For The First Time)}

Koristit ću prijenosnu verziju sustava Windows^(Windows) za ovaj članak jer općenito ne volim instalirati softver ako ne trebam. Osim toga, budući da koristim više uređaja, privlačno mi je imati nešto što može ići na USB stick.

Preuzmite ga^{(Download It)}

Dakle, prvo trebate instalacijsku datoteku (očito).

Ako odete na stranicu preuzimanja KeePass-^{(KeePass downloads page)} a, na vrhu ćete vidjeti najnovije verzije sustava Windows. Uvijek koristite najnoviju verziju.

Ispod toga vidjet ćete KeePass verzije za druge platforme, kao što su MacOS , Linux , iOS, Android i tako dalje. Postoji čak i jedan za Blackberry . slatka^(Cute) .

Iako se ne zovu sve KeePass , ipak su sve potpuno kompatibilne s KeePass bazama podataka lozinki.

Otvorite ga^{(Open It Up)}

Sada raspakirajte zip datoteku, pazeći da strukture mapa ostanu netaknute. Postavite raspakiranu datoteku na svoje računalo ili USB stick i otvorite je.

Kliknite na KeePass.exe za pokretanje programa i vidjet ćete prozor za prijavu koji vam daje pristup vašoj sigurnoj bazi podataka lozinki.

No budući da vam je ovo prvi put s KeePass -om , još neće biti baze podataka za otvaranje. Dakle, morat ćete napraviti jedan.

Zatvorite prozor za prijavu i skočit će prazan prozor.

Stvaranje vaše prve baze podataka^{(Creating Your First Database)}

Kliknite File–>New , što će prikazati ovo.

Kliknite OK^{(Click OK)} i sljedeći korak je da napravite i spremite KDBX datoteku (format datoteke KeePass baze podataka lozinki).

Provjerite^(Make) je li u istoj mapi kao i ostale KeePass mape i datoteke kako se ne bi zametnula.

Također možete preimenovati KDBX datoteku u što god želite. Nazovite ga Mango ako želite. KeePass nije briga. Sve dok postoji KDBX format datoteke, to je sve što je važno.

Postavljanje lozinke baze podataka^{(Setting The Database Password)}

Jedina stvar koja sprječava nekoga da hakira vašu bazu podataka je lozinka koju date svojoj bazi podataka KeePass . Neka bude slab i oni će odmah probiti. Neka bude jaka i nikada neće ući.

Stoga nemojte žuriti s ovim dijelom procesa.

Pokušajte učiniti lozinku za bazu podataka što je teže pogoditi. Koristite^(Use) velika i mala slova, brojeve i možda nekoliko posebnih znakova kao što su zarez ili točka.

Dok upisujete željenu lozinku, "Procijenjena kvaliteta" lozinke pokazat će vam što KeePass misli o vašem izboru. Želite da to ide što je više moguće.

You Will Definitely Want An Emergency Sheet!

Konačno ćete biti upitani želite li ispisati "Emergency Sheet". DA!

Iz očitih razloga, ne postoji opcija poništavanja lozinke. Dakle, ako zaboravite lozinku za bazu podataka ili umrete, a vaš najbliži rođak treba vaše lozinke, tada ćete vi ili oni imati veliki problem.

Stoga ispišite list za hitne slučajeve, zapišite glavnu lozinku, a zatim je sakrijte. Ako je za vašeg najbližeg, stavite ga uz oporuku gdje ga mogu pronaći.

Prilagodite svoju bazu podataka^{(Customize Your Database)}

Vaša baza podataka će se sada otvoriti i možete početi izrađivati ​​i spremati lozinke.

Kategorije za prijavu su na lijevoj strani. To su zadane koje vam KeePass daje, ali ih možete izbrisati ili preimenovati ako želite. Također možete napraviti neograničeno nove.

Imat će dva uzorka unosa već spremljena s desne strane i možete ih izbrisati.

Generiranje vaše prve lozinke^{(Generating Your First Password)}

Za generiranje lozinke idite na vrh prozora baze podataka lozinki i kliknite na malu žutu tipku.

Sada će se otvoriti novi prozor lozinke. Sada morate ispuniti polja. Naslov bi bio naziv web stranice, softvera, bilo čega. Korisničko ime...pa to je samo po sebi razumljivo. URL bi očito bio poveznica na web stranicu ili softversku uslugu . Nijedno od ovih polja ne MORA biti popunjeno, ali pomaže.

Sada za lozinku. Iz sigurnosnih razloga, lozinka je skrivena točkama. Ako kliknete gumb s tri točke, lozinka će se sama otkriti. Ponovno kliknite gumb za maskiranje lozinke.

Za generiranje lozinke kliknite ikonu ključa ispod gumba s tri točke i dobit ćete ovaj izbornik. Odaberite Open Password Generator.

Stvarno vam je potreban samo odjeljak Generiraj pomoću skupa znakova^{(Generate using character set)} . Odaberite duljinu svoje lozinke (dobra duljina je minimalno 25 znakova). Zatim odaberite koje vrste znakova želite u lozinki.

Sada kliknite U redu i okvir za lozinku će biti unaprijed popunjen lozinkom. Kliknite^(Click) na gumb s tri točke da vidite što ste dobili. Ne^(Don) sviđa mi se. Ponovno upotrijebite generator lozinki za još jedno okretanje.

Prijavljivanje^{(Logging In)}

Kada se želite prijaviti na tu stranicu, desnom tipkom miša kliknite unos u KeePass -u i odaberite Kopiraj korisničko ime^{(Copy Username)} . Zatim kliknite u okvir korisničkog imena na web stranici i CTRL + V da biste zalijepili korisničko ime (ili CMD + V na Macu^(Mac) ). Ponovno kliknite desnom tipkom miša na unos i odaberite Kopiraj lozinku^{(Copy Password)} i ponovite postupak u okviru za zaporku.

Morate biti brzi jer nakon 12 sekundi KeePass briše podatke iz vašeg međuspremnika iz sigurnosnih razloga. Vrijeme možete skratiti ili produžiti u KeePass opcijama.

Zaključak^(Conclusion)

KeePass čini generiranje i upravljanje teškim zaporkama što jednostavnijim. Sada više nema isprike da se kaže da je održavanje jedinstvenih lozinki iscrpljujuće i stresno. KeePass to čini jednostavnim kao nekoliko klikova mišem.

How To Set Up & Use The KeePass Password Manager

I’m sure you’ve heard this many times before untіl you’re sick and tired of hearing it. You need strong unique passwords for each of your accounts. Don’t use the ѕame password more than once. Dоn’t use personally identifying informаtion and make the passwords as lоng as possible.

This means no passwords such as 12345 or abcde. Or the classic password. If you use them, well, don’t ask yourself or others why you were hacked. Instead you need something utterly mind-blowing like g6J2_a1##@RlQ56..99+*B.

But the problem then becomes that you are not a robot that can possibly reel off incomprehensible passwords like that. That is why you need a password manager, and since I absolutely love open-source software, my password manager of choice is KeePass.

It also has my loyalty because it has a portable version so it fits on my USB stick.

Setting Up KeePass For The First Time

I am going to use the Windows portable version for this article as I generally dislike installing software if I don’t need to. Plus, since I use multiple devices, having something that can go on a USB stick appeals to me.

Download It

So, first you need the installation file (obviously).

If you go to the KeePass downloads page, you will see the latest Windows versions at the top. Always use the most recent version.

Below that, you will see KeePass versions for other platforms, such as MacOS, Linux, iOS, Android, and so forth. There’s even one for the Blackberry. Cute.

Even though they are not all called KeePass, they are nevertheless all fully compatible with KeePass password databases.

Open It Up

Now unzip the zip file, ensuring that the folder structures remain intact. Place the unzipped file on your computer or USB stick and open it.

Click on KeePass.exe to start the program and you will see a login window that gives you access to your secure password database.

But since this is your first time with KeePass, there will be no database to open yet. So you will have to make one.

Close the login window and a blank window will jump up.

Creating Your First Database

Click File–>New, which brings up this.

Click OK and the next step is to make and save a KDBX file (the file format of a KeePass password database).

Make sure it’s in the same folder as the other KeePass folders and files so it doesn’t get mislaid.

You can also rename the KDBX file to whatever you want. Call it Mango if you want. KeePass doesn’t care. As long as the KDBX file format is there, that’s all that matters..

Setting The Database Password

The only thing stopping someone from hacking your password database is the password you give your KeePass database. Make it weak and they’ll bust right through. Make it strong and they will never get in.

So don’t rush this part of the process.

Try to make your database password as difficult as possible to guess. Use upper and lower-case characters, numbers, and maybe a few special characters such as a comma or a full stop.

As you are typing in your desired password, the “Estimated Quality” of the password will show you what KeePass thinks of your choice. You want that going as high as possible.

You Will Definitely Want An Emergency Sheet!

You will finally be asked if you want to print an “Emergency Sheet.” YES!

For obvious reasons, there is no reset password option. So if you forget your database password, or you die and your next-of-kin needs your passwords, then you or they are going to have a major problem.

So print out the emergency sheet, write the master password down, then hide it. If it is for your next-of-kin, put it with the will where they can find it.

Customize Your Database

Your database will now open and you can begin making and saving passwords.

The login categories are on the left. These are the default ones KeePass gives you but you can delete them or rename them if you want. You can also make unlimited new ones.

It will have two sample entries already saved on the right and you can go ahead and delete those.

Generating Your First Password

To generate a password, go to the top of the password database window and click on the small yellow key.

A new password window will now open. You now need to fill in the fields. The title would be the name of the website, software, whatever. The user name…well that is self-explanatory. The URL would be the link to the website or software service obviously. None of these fields HAVE to be completed but it helps.

Now for the password. For security reasons, the password is concealed with dots. If you click the three dot button, the password will reveal itself. Click the button again to mask the password.

To generate a password, click the key icon under the three dot button and you will get this menu. Choose Open Password Generator.

You really only need the Generate using character set section. Choose the length of your password (a good length is a minimum 25 characters). Then choose what types of characters you want in the password.

Now click OK and the password box will be pre-populated with the password. Click on the three dot button to see what you were given. Don’t like it. Use the password generator again for another spin.

Logging In

When you want to log into that site, right-click the entry in KeePass and choose Copy Username. Then click in the username box on the website and CTRL + V to paste the username in (or CMD + V on a Mac). Right-click on the entry again and choose Copy Password and repeat the process in the password box.

You need to be quick because after 12 seconds, KeePass wipes the information from your clipboard for security reasons. You can shorten or lengthen the time in the KeePass options.

Conclusion

KeePass makes generating and managing difficult passwords as easy as possible. Now there is no longer any excuse to say that maintaining unique passwords is draining and stressful. KeePass makes it as easy as a few clicks of the mouse.
