Just realized my password manager was the weak link, not my passwords

After losing $340 to a SIM swap last month when my 2FA codes went to my phone instead of the authenticator app, I switched everything to hardware keys and now I'm kicking myself for trusting that free tier for 4 years, has anyone else gotten burned by SMS backup codes?

Remember that SMS backup codes are separate from the SIM swap problem, so the real fix was turning off text-based 2FA entirely.
