Would you be amenable to a program like Keepass?

Your password store is a single file, it can be encrypted, backed up (or not), distributed/synchronized between your devices (or not). It belongs to you, not to a third party.

The inevitable rejoinder is, "what happens if someone gets that file?" Well, what happens if someone gets your piece of paper?

Considering it's in my house there is short list of suspects, unlike exposing it to the entire world VIA TCP/IP, but yeah i get your point.

> Will you ever use a password manager.

Not for personal matters and that is a personal choice. My way ain't broke and i ain't fixin it. A password manager smells like something that could break, get compromised, or go out of business at any time without any warning and i don't like the smell of it.

I also code with Notepad++ with none of that autofill suggestion crap and doesn't take 8 smoking cores to fucking type a sentence if that tells you anything about my personality. Get off my lawn!!!
