Dropping Evernote...alternatives?

[jayanu]

Can't comment on Evernote altenatives but can enrhusiastically recommend Roboform for password management. One version will auto-sync your passwords between devices.

I would recomment opensource free Bitwarden password manager

I get mixed feedback on whether Google PW manager is adequate. Would you mind giving me your thoughts on why one should switch to a dedicated PW manager? I will do the work if I think it's worth the time

Any browser based password managers has one problem. The passwords are NOT encrypted. SO if one gets hold of your laptop/phone (beacuse you did nt lock it with passcode) then I can get all passwords. BitWarden is open souce and is free.

I use Obsidian for my notes and manually sync them using WebDAV. For passwords, I use Bitwarden.

I just use Apple's built in password generator for fingerprint and facial recognition.

Having recently purchased a fairly expensive new vehicle, I've been wondering if I may want to change my approach to passwords though. Anyone else using the same approach?

I would be shocked if every browser doesn't save them encrypted. Double check that, I know chrome does. But still, I avoid.

Curious, what does the vehicle purchase have to do with it?

I guess I'm a little more concerned about the appearance of wealth in certain parts of town attracting a would be criminal. And having an app that uses my face for recognition could make things a little too easy. I imagine I'm overthinking it, lol.
Mostly I was more curious as to why more respondents weren't using the simple option of Apple's biometric security approach.

Google PW manager is probably safe, just doesn't feel right to let google store my passwords, encrypted or not. And I'm guessing if you switch browsers your PWs won't come over I like Roboform for a couple of reasons. Works really good on any browser. Works pretty good on my mobile device. Handles multiple credit cards. I like the text area to store different types of data(safenotes). I manage my mother's affairs. I feel comfortable storing SS numbers, birthdates, bank information, all kinds of stuff. I also have a lot of stuff on there I just don't want to lose. Then I can get to it all on my phone.

I switched from Evernote to Google Keep

I'd love to get more recommendations along the lines of Evernote/Google Keep (maybe start another thread on password apps?)

I'm switching from OneNote since you can no longer easily clip web pages and organize them - is Google Keep good for this?

I don't use a web clipper but what do you mean by you can't easily clip web pages? I see that OneNote Web Clipper still exists. Personally, I just take a region screenshot and save that to OneNote or Apple Notes.

I came from Evernote and use one note.

I like Microsoft and so use their products.

Onenote is usable just not great. But it works well enough i guess
