The best way is to save your passwords offline because it is very risky when you use the auto save or you save it on Google cloud flare. Getting a book strictly your your internet passwords and other private information is better,so that you write them there and keep the book or jotter save from the reach of other people. It is easier that way,as you wouldn't be scared of anything and will not forget your passwords, only if you want to change your password for higher security.

I think is better that way saving it offline should be one of the best options that can be considered, You know how people's mentality are, They will feel saving it online is safe and relieves them of the stress of always consulting books before logging in which is an old fashioned but also the safest and according to something op said about information bridge is actually true and once they have access to your information a lot might go wrong, I was also found of saving most of my stuff online until I started getting warnings about private key and many more on the forum so I was scared because once my mail is accessed then there will be a problem, so like you said bro get a small jutter or book the proper information should be kept there and keeping it in a safe place matters a lot, before some outsider will have access to it.

The majority of individuals, I've noticed, tend to save passwords automatically, which may give you the impression that forgetting them is worrisome. likewise browsers are not secure enough to save such data, and spyware, certain programs, or links might expose remembered passwords.
Instead, use a password organizer that you have to yourself, or if worse comes to worst, write your passwords down in a book. People don't understand the risks associated with using auto safe passwords, so they prevent becoming another statistic about identity theft and other crimes. There are other ways to store your passwords in a more secure way than having a lot of passwords saved online, and if proper research is done, many businesses and people have a lot of data bridges. In the event that your account details are obtained, this can give them access to ordering things on your account, taking out loans, and many other things. Is better avoid been a victim. Please  make all of take caution. And look for proper means of saving our passwords, and does that have fallen victim can give testimony of there experience. Lets not take chances.

Although saving password automatically is very risky and has the potential  to cause harm (Hazard). but one thing for sure no matter how smart we tend to be, we are always endowed to make mistakes because of inperfection.

But I think privacy app and pattern password can solve some of these issue.
Privacy app : gives you the permission to hide useful app or content on your phone which no one can access except you.
[Pattern password: we all know the function aswell it's also another security that still require your concent.

Like me I always save password automatically because I don't have that time to be inserting my password manually.  Your mobile phone is a personal property and requires privacy. you alone has the access to it.especially the one used for important online businesses. Like ours not to bee given freely like that.

Many platforms such as exchanges makes 2FA compulsory. How then do you navigate through it? Secondly, I have used Google 2FA for a long time now and even without Internet in my phone so I don't really understand the part you said its connected to the Internet or am I not reading your comment correctly?
With Google 2FA and some like Authy, you can have your 2FA backup online on the cloud, but the best are offline on a paper (like a book). Recommended 2FA examples are Aegis (Android) and Tofu (iOS). I hope you now understand me clearly.

If you have your 2FA offline, it is better. But what that is most necessary is for it not to be on the same device that you have what you are using it for. But having it offline, it adds to your security.

Changing passwords regularly is also risky; honestly, I have all of my passwords saved in my Google cloud; I realise this is risky, but it's the only way I can remember some of the passwords I use because I use various passwords on different sites. I know the best safe is to purchase an offline password manager book, but I can't find it anywhere. Can it be purchased on the Jumia marketplace? If my primary email is compromised, half of my account is compromised as well, which is why having other security layers such as 2FA is critical.
I do not change password regularly, but it is not risky. If I am not able to access the password offline and I need it to access the service I wanted it for, I use forgot password which has been very helpful, it is better than saving password online. I do not have any password saved online anymore as Google is becoming something else as usual.

I use any book for offline backup.

2FA on exchanges are optional..
It differs from one exchange to another. On some exchanges, you will not be able to withdraw without setup 2FA. It is optional on most exchanges that I have used before.

The best way is to write down password in a juter instead of using the autosave password which is not encouraging at any point.
wetin me dey see for this things no jell at all if not plenty times them for don hit me since, but another wey you fit secure am be say try dey clear your cache memory anytime you mistakenly click the autosave password, in fact this go even clear some pages wey you don go through all dey days and weeks.

On Android as an example, all auto saved passwords are backed up on Google cloud with your Gmail account. Google 2FA can also be backed up using your Gmail account. What is left for a hacker to get through? Nothing than your device password.

Avoid Google auto save password and avoid Google 2FA and other 2FA that make use of an online cloud. I prefer to backup my password offline. If I use email, I will prefer to click on forgot password to set new password which is far better.
