I rely on Bitwarden (slooowly migrating from... a spreadsheet...) and am thinking of keeping a master backup to be SyncThing-synchronized across all my devices, but I'm not sure of how to secure the SyncThing-synchronized files' local access if any one of my Windows or Android units got stolen and somehow cracked into or something. I'm curious about how others handle theirs. Thanks in advance for sharing!

I write them on paper just because I'm very old schooled.

My wife does the same, and I can't tell you how many times a day I have to help her reset passwords, figure out if something is an "1", "i", "l", or "|", or decide what needed to be capitalized.

Even though I have Bitwarden installed for her, she just "prefers" paper like some people prefer to stub their toes.

You should try to teach her how to be more careful and clear when writing passwords. It can be hard if she's living in constant rush but it's a very useful skill. And btw I just always underline capital letters. Always works
