    Use a password manager. The fact you use the same password on every site is very disturbing.

    KeepassXC (KeepassDX on android, I don’t know what I apple option is) is a good free open source option.

        Just use a password manager. It’s super easy to get started with it and you’ll only need to know one password, so make it a very good one. I’m certain yours could be brute forced, especially since I know it’s now Lemmy with a “.” somewhere, probably using words so throw a dictionary attack at it and it’s probably easy.

        I haven’t used Bitwarden so I don’t know. It’s totally free though and stored locally. The only issue with this approach (which is much more secure) is there’s no built in syncing between devices. It’s fairly easy to do with Synchthing though so it’s not an issue.

        It can do everything you want a password manager can do. You can generate passwords, have notes and add other fields to entries (so you can store things like security question answers in it too, which you should generate a password for not answer with a real answer). It can connect to your browser with plug-ins for autofill/auto-generate. It has folders for grouping entries. Basically, there’s no feature I can think of that would be useful that it doesn’t have.
