1 year agoYou absolutely should look about moving away from LastPass and to something such as Bitwarden/1Password
LastPass has had major security breach a while back and plays very fast and loose with it’s security. It is not recommended
Few critiques, not personally towards you at all but I really don’t think people should follow this approach
People can have hundreds of different passwords across various sites this really isn’t achievable
Human memory is terrible as well, it’s not a matter of if you forget it’s when
Storing in a standard notes file is absolutely terrible security, it’s also extremely unusable once you have more than a couple passwords
I really suggest to people using a password manager, most of them have apps for your phone and plugins for your web browser to allow you to autofill. They also allow you to randomly generate passphrases/codes for different sites and the autofill means you never have to remember a single one whilst having extremely strong passwords
I’d recommend looking into either Bitwarden or 1Password
