Digital security is more of a concern these days.
But I don't like complicated things, so two-factor authentication, TOTP, Yubikeys and all of that, get overwhelming.

For Interactive Brokers, I just use their IB Key thing. I have to have my phone handy.
It works quick and easy. But I worry about what happens if I (and my phone) burn up in a car accident and my wife has to deal with it.

Does anyone use the IB Digital Security Card thing? Any opinions about it, or password security in general?
(I'm about to switch to a free password manager, since the paid one I've been using got hacked anyway).
