OK, your system works for you. I find Keepass quite useful.


Translation: YMMV. Strongly agreed.

It lets me use very random passwords that I could never remember,


My formula password system generates 13 character passwords. They're
certainly not Keepass quality passwords but IMO I don't need that level
of security. Also 2FA greatly adds to that security.

and it will also store any password, not just for web sites.


My system works with any name, not just web sites. But I usually use the
web site name to generate the password. Most sites use the same password
whether accessed by browser or app.

And I find it to be no inconvenience in the least to make backups of
it and my other data.


Inconvenience wasn't my problem. Temporary loss of my online life due to
a malfunction of a strange piece of software that I have no way of
fixing. Or for that matter knowing what its stealth capabilities in
regards to my sensitive password/site data might be.

But in reality I'm probably in more danger from the companies on the
other end of the passwords. I now have three letters on file telling me
of breaches that exposed my data...
