@rzeta0 This always comes down to "what's your threat model." For most people, a cloud-based password manager is the best solution. I use an offline one I manually sync between devices. Pen and paper can be your password manager, but unless you're super human, most people can't come up with sufficiently random and different passwords for their hundreds of sites they have to log in to. I don't use anti-virus, but I also use Linux so it's a slightly different model there too. VPNs protect against a narrow set of threats and for those they are useful. When people treat VPNs like Tor, they're gonna have a bad time.
