…it does not leak your master password any more!
I have had a lot to say on the storage of your highly sensitive passwords – use an online bank if you must but also realise they are not perfect:
KeePass v2.54 fixes bug that leaked cleartext master password (bleepingcomputer.com)
I personally take responsible for my cyber security and have other solutions to this problem.
And…
Use MFA everywhere it is available…
Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is also referred to as dual-factor authentication (DFA) and two factor authentication (2FA). All have the same function to securely provide a one time password (OTP), only to the authorised user, so they can get access to a service. Examples of services that implement MFA for added security are; Microsoft 365, Google, WordPress and Amazon among many, many others.
…and if possible go passwordless.
