I use LastPass for passwords. I would never print them. I just save a list of the vendors that I have used my credit card as payment. That way, when one of my vendors gets hacked I can get a new card and pretty quickly update to the new numbers.
All of my financial, banking, and credit card suppliers have unique passwords and 2 factor verification where possible. Even my email account uses 2 factor verification every 90 days or when an unknown device accesses the account.
Unless I do something stupid, only my vendors can screw up one of my two credit cards. I only use my debit cards in person at the bank. I’m sure there will be new and better ways for bad actors to hack my accounts in the not too distant future. Oh well... C’est la vie.
The only browser I have ever stored passwords in is Firefox, because it lets me set a master password to encrypt its database of my passwords. Chrome does not have that option.
I have used KeePass on Windows and Linux, and its equivalent MacPass on macOS, as my password manager for many years. Portability between operating systems is critical to the way I work. And being able to make backup copies of the password archive file is also critical.
