    Any password manager is a good and secure alternative because they do not have any interest in knowing or exposing your password. They will run out of business very quick if they allow it! Passwords are just a method to identify you as you in the internet so they can sell you stuff! Even google will go to great extents to guarantee you is you because is at its core business. For sites where you do not trust passwords you can use 2FA of a secondary provider. For sites that are really important you probably will have a dedicated app (government ids, work…) as they do have invested interest on nobody else knowing your password. So yes, they are as secure as technically possible.

    Special note about file based PM: the only person interested on that file to be secret is you! So those are great source of discomfort for me as files are heavily analyzed by systems and platforms. And any file can be brute forced open given enough processing power or enough tech (AI, Quantum computing…) So don’t lie yourself: going lone wolf do not make it safer.

    All careers suck as they are designed to make you enter the rats race. Owning a business included…

    Myself I started 3 or 4 times a careers and the only time I enjoyed my work it was due to the people around me.

    Do whatever and try to find its positives…

    I work IT and I would say: Don’t worry too much about AI. Lot of hype from boomers but is mostly bullshit.
