Apple has had this functionality built in for over a decade. Plus now with facial recognition.

But what’s just as important is to turn on 2 phase authentication, and use a password that contains uppercase letters, special characters, numbers and is over 15 chars long. It will take a hundred years to crack it!

If you are Using windows, just put your info on the web because it’s too easy to hack into. Linux and Apple are much harder to hack into.

I agree with all of the above. For non-important things, like web forums, I use whatever password(s) I like. For important things, like an investment account, I let the 1Password randomly select a 25+ random character password. I do NOT put that on the computer, and instead hide it written down and tell my spouse and another trusted family member of its location. That other trusted family member also has copy of the password written down and in a sealed envelope they keep at their house (just in case mine burns down). Secure redundancy that is non-digital for the important things.
