I have a combination of different databases, e.g. one for work stuff,
another for data sharing with family, primary and one for the cat. Well,
the cat isn't going to follow best practices no matter what I do :(.

Then for some of the above, I export parts for travel. For values of
export usually being copy and paste.

I also store sensitive data other than passwords, e.g. member number for some
organizations, shoe size and favorite ice cream flavor. Don't want to
accidentally forget that last one!

ciao,
