How do you keep track of all your passwords and logins? Tell me your method, even if it's not perfect.

B Natural answer

My method is pretty simple. I try to store them safely in a password app, and I make each important account a little different. For older accounts that I barely use, I sometimes write them down in a notebook that I keep in a drawer at home. I know that is not ideal, but it is my way to avoid forgetting things. I also keep a basic backup plan for important emails and banking, so if I lose my phone, I am not completely stuck.
