    You type in passwords? Better use a password manager with random generated passwords, plus 2FA. Only copy-paste passwords and make it extremily hard to brute-force one, or have one stolen which can be used on other platforms because you use the same all over. Only unique long gibberish hidden behind a biometric lock, double protected with 2 factor Auth.

      I do have exactly 2 passwords that I type, and 3 memorized.

      1 for my password manager, 1 for my authenticator to get into my password manager (regularly typed)

      My work password is memorized in case I have to sign in to an actual work computer

        How would you lose them? Mine are stored in Proton pass, with biometric unlock on my phone and pc, and with a backup login code on paper locked away. My 2FA (Google authenticator, yeah I need to change to non-google, I know) is backed up on my backup phone. The password database is also backed up (offline, locked away and password protected).
