Unfortunately, a friend who used Last Pass lost her entire bitcoin investment which was supposed to be 100% safe. Last Pass has been breached at least twice.

Hackers stole this engineer's 1Password database. Could it happen to you? | ZDNET "The WSJ article discusses 1Password at length, pointing out that the victim was using the password manager to store 2-factor authentication keys for many sites, and that he hadn't turned on 2-factor authentication for 1Password itself. ... In this case, it's hard to assign any fault to the password manager. Bad guys had unrestricted access to his computer for five months! The keyboard logger was capable of stealing every set of credentials he used during that time, even if the usernames and passwords were typed in manually. " |

1Password is my password manager of choice and is often rated as #1. To my knowledge it's never been breached and is a dream to use if you access lots of websites. The backup team is very helpful should you have an issue, although all communication is done via email with their team.

My DIL who worked at FB for ten years and now TikTok says everyone uses Last Pass. So I got it. It's cheap enough $36.00 year but you have to learn how to use it and there are You Tube Videos. But our computers also give us automatic generated passwords if you have a MAC.

I don't have banking apps on my phone, and my "wallet" is also encrypted and requires biometrics to use. The thumb drive goes with me when I take my laptop to my dad's house. If I'm taking my tablet instead I port just a dozen lines of data to a temporary spreadsheet on a micro SD card and take that - and then I delete it when I get home. |

I assume you mean something far more robust than writing them down on a sheet of paper and putting it under the keyboard or in an adjacent drawer.

I use KeyPassXC (not KeyPass). Decent user interface, very easy to use, local file storage, no ads or account required and best of all opensource so its free. You have control of the encrypted password file and a copy can be kept offsite like where you keep backups, or with a family member (heirs). More than just passwords can be saved too (account numbers, critical info etc.).

Google already does that. You log into Google and you have access to your master list. If you don't log in, you don't have access.
