That’s fair, a password manager would be a good (and likely better) alternative. The only reasons I haven’t made the switch:

1. Even password managers are unreliable, with many popular ones getting hacked in the last 10 years. And I don’t like the idea of storing _all_ my passwords with a single service which may be hacked. I suppose I could just store a subset of my passwords, but that eliminates a lot of the convenience

2. I still find password managers somewhat annoying to use in general. Copy-pasting is disabled on many login forms, so I often would have to manually type an unfamiliar password. And when I’m not using my personal laptop I have to “log in twice” to complete a single intended login - this has historically been fairly common for me, though maybe less common recently
