I look after my own damn passwords

I'm obviously in a tiny minority here, but I don't give my passwords to third parties to look after. I have a VeraCrypt folder on my encrypted hard drive that holds encrypted documents for each password along with any associated information such as account numbers etc. It is a minor faff opening the encrypted files in the encrypted VeraCrypt folder but only I have access to them.

The data is also backed up monthly to VeraCrypt encrypted USB sticks stored in my garage.

As for trivial stuff, such as my El Reg login, I just let Firefox store that.
