This is why I don't use a password manager. I just keep a plain text doc in my OneDrive® so I have the one password I use for everything where ever I need it.

I suggest replacing OneDrive® with a public paste on pastebin. That way you won't have to remember the password for your Microsoft account.

I tried that, but my password always kept changing to dead links for torrent trackers.
