FreeOTP

You can set up 2FA using Authenticator apps like Authy or FreeOTP or any other trusted service. This is one of the safest forms of 2FA as the OTP linked to your accounts in these apps change every 30 seconds. Moreover, no two OTPs are the same. So unless someone gains access to your password as well as the device you use for 2FA, it is very difficult for them to gain access to your account. Physical Authentication Keys are also one of the most secure forms of authentication, however, setting them up could be difficult for people who aren’t very tech savvy. Push Notifications are also considered to be fairly secure and have been made the default method of authentication for many services these days.

Most password managers also come with other features like Autofill and Generate Random Passwords. In some instances, the autofill feature can also help identify phishing websites, especially if this is a website for which you have stored a password in your manager already. The Generate Random Passwords feature helps you generate complex passwords without having to actually come up with one. The best passwords are the ones you don’t remember! Bitwarden and LastPass are good examples of online password managers, whereas a service like Keepass is a trustworthy offline password manager service.
