Not a good look. What are you using now? I am still with a fairly major player.
Honestly, I hesitate to say on a public forum now that it's so easy for people to have agents that can connect so many dots.
Hehe. Mine is still a pocket sized spiral notebook I got as swag from old GoTo decades ago. Works great, nobody has hacked it yet.

Now I feel an idiot :-[
Not too late to edit your post
Its out there...
Part of the reason to ask, is the worry of how to defend yourself. And there are so many people who are still on the 1 password structure for everything, that I don't think I am particularly low-hanging fruit.
But still better late than never. Thanks for the suggestion.
I don't think you can fully defend yourself.
You can run a password manager that is purely local.
QuotePaterson recommends choosing a password manager that is transparent about potential security vulnerabilities, undergoes external audits, and, at the very least, has end-to-end encryption enable by default.
But which one is that? How can I possibly know how transparent a password manager is being?
In general, though, I would say the old advice is still sound
- strong passwords
- second factor anywhere that matters
- do not repeat passwords across accounts.
OK, that makes me feel better :)
