Does Mnemonic Passcode more secure than normal password? - Lemmy.world

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?

I tend to add them to my password manager, which funnily enough also has a recovery phrase which I just keep written down somewhere safe.

I generate mine with xkpasswd.net

They are generated on the server’s side, not by JS.

Use with caution.

Thanks, I’ll stop using it. I don’t want my passwords to end up in some wordlist
