RFC: Cross Platform Password Manager (lemmy.radio)

How are you storing passwords and 2FA keys that proliferate across every conceivable online service these days?

What made you choose that solution and have you considered what would happen in life altering situations like, hardware failure, theft, fire, divorce, death?

If you're using an online solution, has it been hacked and how did that impact you?

Also KeePassXC, like others in the thread. If I lose my db most things have a "forgot password" option, or if it's something like an encryption passphrase then I've either got important data backed up, I remember and type the passphrase manually, or the data stored is not vital anyway so if I lose access to it that's fine. If someone else gets my db they'll have to decrypt it first so I'm not too worried, though obviously if I found out that happened I'd still change all my most important passwords just to be safe. Tbh I have few devices and switch between them infrequently enough that I just manually copy the db onto an encrypted USB drive to transfer it between devices and update it.
