I know I'm not changing your mind, but these day security breaches don't happen the way they used to. All breaches where data was leaked (Facebook last time) the data was stored improperly.

Facebook/Yahoo didn't encrypt the data that was leaked, there was no excuse as the way they were doing it was outdated even at the time.

Google encrypts everything with your login credentials, so even if a hacker gets into Google's databases, the data is useless to them. They do not store your password anywhere. For you to be hacked you have to be hacked locally, and not have two factor authentication set up properly. It just doesn't happen if you have multiple authenticators.

I'm just going to say it's more secure than you think it is, past actions are not a predictor of what's happening in the future because the way your data is stored in the modern day means it's mathematically impossible to access.

Here is a mathematician who is basically repeating everything I stated word for word.

Also see bitcoin. They say anything that is on a computer can be hacked, this is a myth. There is a $117.81 billion reward for anyone who hacks the blockchain, something that is mathematically impossible because it is encrypted.

Alternatively, I can limit myself to a small enough number of accounts that I can memorize all of my passwords and not need to store them anywhere. That's the most secure option of all, which is why I so resent efforts to erode its viability by fragmenting services like Epic is trying to.

The world's getting too complicated for you to memorize everything, so we will move on. \_()_/ Just don't get mad when monopolies break up because it's inconvenient for you, because you choose to manually remember your passwords and that severely limits the range of platforms you can use.
