    You type in passwords? Better use a password manager with random generated passwords, plus 2FA. Only copy-paste passwords and make it extremily hard to brute-force one, or have one stolen which can be used on other platforms because you use the same all over. Only unique long gibberish hidden behind a biometric lock, double protected with 2 factor Auth.

      If you are following best practices, you would be using a device with a password (ideally full disk encryption, but whatever) to access the password manager in the first place. Using just biometrics to log into PC or phone is a bad idea. Most phones require a password/passcode for first unlock due to disk encryption.

        How would you lose them? Mine are stored in Proton pass, with biometric unlock on my phone and pc, and with a backup login code on paper locked away. My 2FA (Google authenticator, yeah I need to change to non-google, I know) is backed up on my backup phone. The password database is also backed up (offline, locked away and password protected).
