What stupidly easy tech solution do people gloss over all of the time? (kbin.melroy.org)

For me it's the paranoia surrounding webcams. People outright refuse to own one and I understand, until they go on and on about how they're being spied. Here's the secret - unplug the damn thing when you think you won't use it or haven't used it in a while.

They, whoever it is, can't really spy on you on something that's already off and unplugged!

Password managers. People will use anything but that: paper, notes app (without any security), using the same password everywhere...

I keep telling myself I need to start using a password manager but I'm worried I won't be able to log into things on my phone or other devices like my work computer when I need to because I don't know the password. Is that a legitimate worry or is there a solution for this? How do you sync passwords between computer and phone?

I hse keepassxc and store my password database in onedrive. My phone has an app keepass2android which can read the database in onedrive.
