Is there an industry favorite password manager these days? Every time I read something like this I re-commit to getting a manager, but then I can never decide on a product. I just want something that's secure and preferably non subscription-based.

I use iCloud Keychain. Works well as long as you use safari, which is admittedly uncommon.

> If possible, use a separate computer (an old one or a cheap one purchased for this purpose) for things like banking; if your family computer is the same one that you use for bank transactions you risk having your kids click on a bad link that results in a hacking. So true! A $100 unrooted Android tablet is almost infinitely more secure than the windows/mac, even with the best antivirus. Or if you like physical keyb…

If you want to go down this route, I'd just use qubes os to run each set of apps in its own vm. Sure, you have issues with vm escapes but it's a lot more convenient than switching devices.

I'd love to use 1password still, but they have no Linux client (even cli), the web client is long gone, and the Android app is awful. It's really great software, but I don't feel valued as a customer at all.

Web client absolutely exists for subscribers to their syncing service.

And then I called the wire transfer company and placed a stop on the payment. How do you place a stop on a wire transfer? I thought irreversibility was the whole point of wire transfers.

The whole point of wire transfers is traceability. The banks can watch it very closely. I've been able to reverse wire transfers the next day, with a back-date (ie. pretend it never happened). However, author seems to know wire transfers as well as she knows internet security - which is not very well. You can trace the wire into the destination account, but if that person moves it immediately and eventually withdraws…

2FA works in practice against people who don't have physical contact with you. For most people, that's the only threat vector they're worried about. It hardly makes your life more difficult, and it does help at least a little bit. So it's worth setting up.

Not really; sms as 2fa has regularly enabled people to steal accounts they otherwise couldn't have gotten by allowing password resets by stealing your phone number. See eg @deray getting hacked.
