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.?
Privacy has become a very important issue in modern society, with companies and governments constantly abusing their power, more and more people are waking up to the importance of digital privacy.

If anybody is choosing between Bitlocker for full disk encryption on a Windows computer, and leaving it mostly unencrypted, I would recommend Bitlocker. At least that system provides some level of protection from physical thievery. Veracrypt is generally considered more trustworthy, but IIRC is a little riskier.
Why riskier? Keep a backup of the boot-image and you’re good. And do generally backups of files and devices. Haven’t had any issue for years with Win10/11 and VC. Win7 and TC/VC on the other hand was awful…
The answer to the first sentence is everything you wrote after it
