right - well prob just have 10 -15 things maybe in the manger and over 50 - 100 things in the bookIn my world, as soon as everything is transferred to a password manager, it would be considered to be trash!
I would put everything in the password manager, I see no reason to keep anything in a book...right - well prob just have 10 -15 things maybe in the manger and over 50 - 100 things in the book

OK, so if I understand you correctly:I was trying to share an idea -about accounts I already have

I probably don't actually have so many compared to others? "OK, so if I understand you correctly:
You have a lot of accounts/login for different services, such as email, bank, online stores etc.
theres probably not many im actively usingYou will keep using the ones you have, but register them with your password manager.
yesWhen you start using the password manager, you change passwords for all login, and let the password manager create new passwords for you,
are you saying I should just make new passwords - for things from book rather then try look back through it?which will be stored inside the password manager when you change password for each service. When you are through with changing and storing all new passwords, you won't need your book anymore.
Your password manager of choice will provide you with instructions on how exactly to execute this process.
Yes, let the password manager create new passwords for you. It is capable of creating far better passwords than you and I are!are you saying I should just make new passwords - for things from book rather then try look back through it?

We all make our own choices. Personally, I would not keep login details in a book for several reasons, security and convenience being two of them.your saying get rid of my book '
so if I'm angry I should destroy the book'We all make our own choices. Personally, I would not keep login details in a book for several reasons, security and convenience being two of them.
This has been discussed earlier in this thread, and I don't believe that I have anything further to add to this discussion...

Better to go for a walk ?
Best to safely walk and remain on the sidewalk . . . to avoid being struck by all types of moving vehicles, big and small; anger can be very 'blinding'/distracting
As you see GTD fit. . . .

oh right, I have no idea why you would get data breaches unless you are rich like the Evil who ...Password managers are definitely the way to go. Pretty much any password that doesn't contain a mix of random characters is crackable. I started with KeePass, then moved to LastPass, and after LastPass had two serious data breaches I've renounced them and moved to Bitwarden, which I strongly recommend.
Data breaches are targeting the places where lots of people store passwords. Has absolutely NOTHING to do with being rich, only that you store critical data in a place you do not control. Which is one of many raesons I abhor cloud based systems and use them very sparingly and with lots of safeguards in place.I have no idea why you would get data breaches unless you are rich
