Password manager.

Before inevitable "what if your password manager is hacked...," what if your google account is hacked / banned?

You don't even need a password manager, browsers autogenerate secure passwords for you, and they sync between computers/mobile devices.

(I'm saying this from the perspective of "regular people don't want to be inconvenienced like that, obviously you should use an external password manager for security)

Agreed. Just wanted to add:

> Before inevitable "what if your password manager is hacked

My passwords are encrypted with a security key. I think it is more likely for my computer to get compromised than for my password manager to leak the passwords.

Admittedly, if I lose all the security keys at the same time, I lose all of my passwords.
