Why not use a password manager?

Single point of failure and a separate entity has all of your passwords and you have to continue paying them or lose access to everything. Sounds like a terrible idea to me

There are password managers you can self host. Bitwarden being one of them. Secure it as much as you want and keep off-site encrypted backups if you're worried about a single point of failure.

BitWarden now supports passkeys and has a free 2FA app.

No excuses not to be as secure as possible anymore.
