  Can always use a service like bitwarden, even their free tier is very good

  I won’t disclose where I store mine.

  But I’d recommend to:

  • Not backup your PW manager’s database + key file in the same location
    (That would decrease security, x1 data breach would allow them to easily brute force your PW DB since they’ll have the key)
  • Not go with a PW manager that does not allow you to choose a location where you desire to backup to (Seen plenty of mainstream PW managers getting data breached by now, so going with a cloud, which is not solely used for PW managers, has an advantage imo, since they tend to be less targeted by hackers)

  I’ve been happily using KeeWeb + Keepass2Android for years now:

  @mormund I used to store them in a paper notebook, away from the prying eyes of the malware. Now I also have them in a password manager for easy access in case I need them, if the account supports 2FA TOTP.

  You could use a USB drive that you only ever plug in to open the password manager. It’s not the most secure option but it’s a bit better than no key file at all.

    Can’t use it with a phone though. To be honest, I think just having a password manager gives you protection against 99% of the attack surface. And if someone is really determined, I’m not sure the key file will be hard to obtain for them no matter what. But I was curious what setup others have

      If someone is really determined to attack you specifically they will just get a wrench.

    or store the key in a tpm chip protected by password +biometric auth?
