    i save the unimportant ones with firefox's sync because my understanding is it is encrypted before being uploaded.
    i also share them across accounts because it's no biggy if someone gets my twitter and happens to get my poofa. the bank and important ones are two-factor if available and are kept in my head.
    email uses two-factor, otp and the largest password i have (iirc 27chars) using caps, lower, symbol and numbers. and no account has ever seen my actual email, the account holder/login email has never been used for anything, only various alias emails.

    however i think instead of brute forcing using dictionaries and common passwords a lot of the real breeches are on the server side because they aren't kept secured there or obtained through phishing emails because people are dumb.
    There is no way to make it out alive...

    I thought of that , but some forums/sites require more/less characters than others , or a mix of letters , numbers , upper/lower case , special characters (~!@#%$) etc.

    Some make ya change yer password every so often.
