Nothing is ever too secure if it is connected to a network. So if you're fearing for your passwords, there may be another way to secure them even further. The method: store it in your subconscious.

We've seen this technique before, but only in movies. Christopher Nolan's Inception is exactly this sort of scenario. And now, a new method developed by scientists from Stanford and Northwestern is similar.

The method will depend on your so called "procedural memories", where things are stored in your brain that you access unconsciously. The memories are stored deep in the part of your brain that handles motor control and habit forming. You can train yourself to access them when you need them.

The Stanford and Northwestern scientists designed a game that looks like Guitar Hero to train your mind to remember a certain pattern of keystrokes. Over time, typing in the same long password gets stored in muscle memory. When participants came back a few weeks after playing the game, they typed in the familiar sequences with slightly better accuracy. The computer then distinguishes the difference in speed and accuracy between someone who unconsciously remembers the password and someone who's never seen it before.
