I know the FBI, the CIA, Apple and Microsoft have all been hacked, and data stolen. I have never been hacked.
I looked at the password apps and almost pulled the trigger and signed up, but I decided to just keep using a password list on my own computer, in a hidden file. Not as convenient as an auto-fill password manager, but it has worked for me since the early 1980s.
It is tedious to use the two factor authentication for a lot of sites, but is is more secure.
Way back in in the 1980s one of my friends was THE head of email for all of SW Bell. He had a business card sized gizmo with a text string of a lot of numbers that changed regularly. It was his password generator that he had to enter the numbers from that card into a portal, and only then was he able to access a login page to enter his convoluted username and password. He did say his username was nothing at all to do his actual name and the password back then was long and had upper and lower case, special characters, and even some ASCII code characters. Since he was in charge of millions of email accounts he had to be 100% secure.
