How do you manage your different encrypted files/storages? (lemmy.cat)

I'm curious to know how people manage their different encrypted storage here. And I'm talking about the case where you really need to manage SEVERAL encrypted storages/files.

What software do you use? Where do you save your passwords (password manager/paper/other) or do you use physical keys?

In short, what's the best combination you've found or recommend to cover as many attack surfaces as possible: remote, local, physical, etc.?

Linux and Luks full-disk-encryption for every system. Remotely unlockable via ssh. HDDs are unlocked via keyfiles which are on the fd-encrypted SSDs.

For windows you can use VeraCrypt (don't use Bitlocker!).

For single files I usually use 7zip or Peazip with long passwords.

I hadn't even thought of that!
