I don’t understand why people promote password managers for individuals. You don’t need to store your password in a central location that is a prime target to hackers; even if it’s encrypted, that’s more of a risk than keeping one of your own.

And some of the previous advice they’re stepping back from like avoiding QR codes you’re unfamiliar with is still good advice; you should be careful and not expose yourself too much.
