I am stubbornly avoiding password managers like LastPass. Single point of failure is...eh.

For myself I have several categories of passwords. Each one has several variations. Recovery > Identity accounts (gmail/service/2fA) > Financial > Games/entertainment/education > Throw aways.

From multi-word phrases with upper and lower, numbers, and symbols, all the way down to a word with numbers.

I have a system.

Ugh, just describing that madness is tempting me to give LastPass another look. Maybe just commit my identity passwords to internal memory and save the rest in an external repository. If my master repo of passwords gets compromised, I can still recover with my identity passwords. Ok, that's enough self realization for this comment. I need to go think lol.
