Why not use a password manager?
I'm split between a work pc, mobile, and home pc... It could work for 90% of cases. I never trusted a password manager though.
KeePass doesn't rely on any third party, and if you choose to use a third party file storage to hold your password vault, it's encrypted
BitWarden now supports passkeys and has a free 2FA app.
No excuses not to be as secure as possible anymore.
Single point of failure and a separate entity has all of your passwords and you have to continue paying them or lose access to everything. Sounds like a terrible idea to me
There are password managers you can self host. Bitwarden being one of them. Secure it as much as you want and keep off-site encrypted backups if you're worried about a single point of failure.
