      That’s even more reason to use a password manager. You’re far more likely to have unique passwords per site. If one gets compromised, others don’t.

        Idk who is safe to use for password mgmt. I haven’t seen data leaks for my banking institutions who probably have enforced regulations for IT security. Are there standards in place for password manager products? What brands are reputable?

          Yourself. I use Vaultwarden on a Raspberry Pi. Lots of people use something like KeePass and sync it with Dropbox or something similar. As far as someone else hosting it, Bitwarden seems like the go to (and is the project that Vaultwarden is based on).
