Nothing > wrong with my cyber-security. When you state that something like "writing down" a password is reasonable in one's home as if this actual home were a heaven of safety, I beg to differ. Happy to know you actually have a more sensible approach in practice. That being said, your root password might be needed in situations where a vault is not accessible yet (let's say your laptop is in a bad shape). So a vault can not be enough. > Also note that I put 'written down' in single quotes - it was meant to > indicate that the term could be a euphemism for such things as stored in > a password vault, a secure note on a mobile phone, and so on. It's not the original point of the thread, so while I can understand and agree your understanding of "written down" not including a paper or paperbook, it was clearly not the understanding of the initial post. I guess I'll leave things there for good, anyway, people will do whatever they think is best, regardless of cyber-security concerns. -- PEB
