Honestly that’s why I just stick with local site auth and a password manager. 1) it lets me remember things via my manager and 2) if it’s compromised, they’ll only have access to that site and not other ones I’ve used to log in with.

I generally do too. But then you're also at the mercy of whether the site was designed with even the most basic of security in mind. Luckily the password managers all generate unique passwords so one site getting hacked and plaintext passwords stolen won't get my bank info put at risk - but still.
