Safety first?

[Murloc]

Hey everyine. I'm using my laptop in various places  and I log on different payment services and wallets from it so it seems to be a good idea to set a strong password so just in case it would be stolen no one could take any information out of it. Can anyone advice me some good software for it? At least something better then the usual passwords in windows.

I wouldn't trust windows with services and accounts that are important to you because of all the possible malware.
However if you meant password vault, i can recommend Lastpass because your passwords are synced to their service and you don't have to worry about backups. The password vault of yours is stored encrypted on their servers, so in case of data breach the person won't get access to your passwords in case you actually have a decent password. If you can afford to put some money into your security, you can buy Yubikey 4 for OTP authentication which is really secure. Yubikey uses smartcard so it's pretty much "hacker proof" as you may call it. Alternatively you can use Google Auhtenticator, Authy and so on for 2FA codes. If you wish to try Lastpass, let me know and i'll send you a invite link in PM so we both get 1 month of free premium. The premium version only costs 12$ a year so i guess it's pretty affordable

Just curious. What if I make a super strong password, forget it and their servers will be shut down for some reason? On their website they are saying something like    "You can set any kind of passwords without worrying about anything". Also it it possible to set password for example for bitcoin core or it works only with popular online cervices?
Yubikey looks just cool! Definetely gona search for some more information about it and maybe order one
Anyway thanks for advices!

Always use a VPN when you login in public networks, this is what you need first!
Veracrypt, you can encrypt all your data, never loose you password because recovery won't be a choice.

I doubt that. Also since they are backed up by a pretty big company, they would notify you about that for sure. Im not sure, but i think you can recover the account somehow.
Also you can always write a backup of the passwords somewhere, or type a hint incase you forgot sometimes. Also saying that "worrying about anything" is kind of advertisement talk because on technology there are some certain risks involved. Nothing is bullet proof. You can save the password for bitcoin core on the vault yes, however the possible autofill option only works on browsers, so for bitcoin core you'd have to copypaste the passwords into the client. It is possible to save anything on the vault, even some notes if you want to.

Many people around the net put their trust to several password management software and it appears that they are not having problems with it. But on the other hand, I try to avoid them as I don't trust any software that manages password for someone else. What I would advice to you is to create some password guidelines for yourself only and use it when creating a strong password for your accounts. For example, use series of words that are not related and put them in a sentence that would only make sense to you. This will be very hard at the start but it would payoff in the future use. You also saved yourself some penny as some of those software comes with a price.

Your best bet would be to back up all of your passwords offline on a piece of paper and keeping it safe. Make sure passwords are alphanumeric and aren't something too obvious to be guessed. (which belong to combo lists of brute forcers)
Other than this, use an antivirus software like MBAM (free) and conduct frequent full scans of your PC to ensure there is no malware that is keystroking the passwords being entered.

Just what others recommending, I bet saving your passwords on a sheet of paper or offline are much better tho you can put your password online but don't ever give a hint about it or hide the beginning or the last character like if your password is "@041d428e3f3e9a9a1fe17643dcd98648~", then you should stash the "@" and "~" or its either between the two of them. But I still prefer on saving it offline.
