I know. I'm that guy. Brave has sync now. They finally fixed it. ¯\_/(ツ)_/¯

Similar to what others have said you need to make some changes. Figure out how the game works. Get educated. Find a new job, get certs, go back to school, rehab your credit, find a cheaper place, make moves.

Oh yeah, you nailed it. Clearly worked for the OP... I also didn't put a value on said opportunity cost. Perhaps it's greater than $250 depending on the individual. Subjective as opportunity cost can sometimes be. Not trying to ascertain or consider it is at best just short sighted, or perhaps at worst ignorant. Cheap junk, effectively rented according to the EULA, subject to the whims of the rights holders, is never the way.

Best Buy does this all for you for $80, assuming the person is in the US. I expect this is available most places for similar prices though. You can get anything from a BT only unit for $20 online to a much nicer unit with Android Auto/iOS's thing. While the initial cost might be higher the opportunity cost of your thing being disabled is almost certainly much higher, as this thread's existence seems to support. $150-$200 well worth it in the long run to do a head unit upgrade.

As with most things security it's about assessing your risk.

If you're a granny with a hand full of passwords then a notebook is probably fine.

I think for most people, who aren't CEOs, high value employees, or some kind of holder of the keys to a kingdom beyond their personal bank account, a solid full e2ee password manager that's cloud synced is a nice middle ground of security vs convenience. It beats a post it under keyboard or a notebook left on the night stand.

For those CEOs, or high value employees then something offline is in order. Or as I've seen others note perhaps a combo of full offline and cloud synced for less important logins.

I recommend Bitwarden as others have here. It seems to be the one that's come through unscathed thus far and the company behind it seems to be making the right moves to stay ahead of risks. https://bitwarden.com/help/is-bitwarden-audited/
