Thanks for the feedback. I've always been put off 2-step because I log in on 3-4 devices but having said that I am logged in all-day so it shouldn't be too much inconvenience - I'll look into it.
I use LastPass as my password manager. Can't really manage without one now.
Once you have done it a few times it just becomes part of the log in process you go through each day on auto and it really is no hassle.
If someone got into your account and took your money I would imangine that would cause an untold amount of hassle and annoyance and leave you wishing why on earth didn't you put 2FA on.
I have never used a password manager but I think I will look at them as more people seem to be using them. My worry, probably daftly, is giving up my passwords to a third party.
I have often seen it said that you are probably safest coming up with complicated passwords and just having them on a sheet of paper at home. But I would not fancy the hassle and worry should my house be broken into and that sheet taken.
It is also really important to ensure you use a different password for each site you use which I know sounds like a hassle but it really isn't if you come up with a system.
This article by Martin Lewis from Money Saving Expert is quite old now and I haven't read it for a while but thought I would share it anyway as I am sure it is still of use to people when creating said system:
