Mitigation

To avoid forgetting your Pigeon password, we recommend that it be stored in a reputable password manager.

The National Cyber Security Centre, a UK government agency, recommend using a password manager to store passwords. The National Institute of Standards and Technology, a non-regulatory US agency, give their tacit approval of password managers in one of their standards.

A whitepaper by Ian Maddox and Kyle Moschetto summarises industry advice on passwords as follows:

"Use a password manager. Use unique passwords for every site and application. Make long, random passwords. Use multi-word passphrases. Use salted passphrases or algorithms for security questions. Trust and review authoritative sources for best practices."

Modern password security for users

There are also drawbacks of password managers that you should be aware of, and it is important to note that no approach to password storage gives absolute security.
