I used an algorithm previously, which was a hassle at times and probably not as secure as I was telling myself. This was until I joined Bluink and discovered Bluink Key.

Bluink Key is a secure (nontypical) password manager that encrypts your passwords locally on your smartphone and automates logins on your computer via a Bluink Key USB device. Nothing is ever stored in the cloud.

Bluink Key is impractical for attackers to target because they need physical access to your phone, they need to know your phone's PIN, and they need to know your master password to Bluink Key. This is very difficult to pull off assuming you usually have your phone with you and have a decent PIN/master password.

Bluink Key is also relatively unprofitable for attackers to target because a successful attack would only yield passwords from one individual, whereas a successful attack on a traditional, cloud-based password manager would yield passwords from millions of users.

Bluink Key is a two-factor authenticator as well (FIDO U2F and OTP).
