Agreed on the usefulness of password managers and 2FA, although I will say that I have been a victim of a SIM swap attack, and that could easily defeat 2FA for an attacker that was targeting you specifically.  Most of the time 2FA is used for silly things like changing a bank password and stealing money over Zelle (my situation).

That's unfortunate.

But yeah, it's like locking the doors to your house. It'll stop people from just walking in but a determined thief will just break a window.

I started using a password manager and an app-based 2FA for my important accounts after a friend got his bank account stolen repeatedly.
