I use 1Password, but I also use the built-in password manager in iOS/iPadOS/macOS as well as in Microsoft Edge, the browser I use on the Mac. Yeah I know, it's a mess, and I did a whole column on the fact that I am doing it wrong.

I have used: LastPass, Dashlane, Brave Browser (storing passwords in the browser).

But because of the LastPass breach, I want to clear away entirely from LastPass and assign new pwds for everything I ever put into LastPass.

And while Dashlane has not been a problem (at least not very much), I have not been a power user, and I would like to be.

I have used a simple algorithm in concocting a new pwd, instead of allowing the pwd manager to provide a strong pwd for me.

My concern has been that if I am not where I have access to the pwd manager, I just won’t have any access to my pwds ( which is why I have felt comfortable using my own algorithm that I can carry in my head).

But now I want to shift over to using 2FA, and set up with something that will be easy and fulfilling to use.

To guard against a repeat of the LastPass experience, I am inclined toward a system that stores the pwds in my own various devices, instead of the cloud.

(But I am confused how to achieve the best of all worlds.)
