KeePassXC ftw

I always keep my keepass databases offline for good

I need to search this KeePass. I read it in other comments, but I have never heard of it before.
KeyPassXC is the way to go, IMO. It is wonderful. The password db is stored locally on your disk. It integrates nicely with firefox and probably other browsers too. Open source, no spyware, “just works”.
It’s pretty good. I was using pass but keypassxc is easier. It also handles passkeys well. Here it is on Windows: https://portableapps.com/apps/utilities/keepassxc-portable. For Linux, just search for it in the package manager. Not sure about Mac.
KeepassXC is also available for Mac.

You can use local ones like KeePassXC.
Keeping them in your head? So, your passwords must be shit, lmao.
Zero threat prioritisation.
for the average person’s home pc, writing them down on a sticky note or notebook is sufficient
if someone unauthorized is physically in your house then you have bigger problems than them knowing your facebook passwordcorrect horse battery staple
What did you do instead?
