Bold decision to entrust your data to a Chinese firm like Eassos who developed DiskGenius

There is slim risk someone could hack your computer and grab those passwords.

I've never trusted password managers so using a print out providing an 'air gap' which cannot be breached.

I store the passwords on a bitlocker encrypted drive in a password protected Word file....

Wrong since I recently forced an update to Windows 11 from Windows 10 for free for my non-compliant 10 year old Dell laptop. The fix is simple.

if the USB ports built into the case are bust you can buy a 3.5" tray with USB ports which you then connect to the motherboard

The last thing we need is an Artificial Idiot messing about with flaky OneDrive functionality!
