Few points to add that I do.

1) check out bitwarden + aegis - both seem popular as another tools

2) Reinstall your linux desktop instead of upgrading once in a while ( remove worms). Make sure you have all updates regularly.

3) When you are developing be careful with libraries - for example pin your versioning in python in the event you get a bad repo

4) use adware blocker to block malware in firefox

5) with keepassxc use the extra file - for security - call it random.mp3 and do not keep it in the cloud even encrypted

6) keep your otp passwords separate

7) use u2f for your main email account - yuibkey or other cheap alternative.

8) explore ssh using yuikey

9) use personal firewall on laptop

10) Use drive encryption for your laptop - backups need to be all encrypted as well

11) Bonus - have separate email account only for password resets that is very hardened and you don't log in regularly. Maybe with 2 different 2 factor auth on it.

12) Bonus 2 - have separate phone number for 2 factor sms authentication that people can't know about - (voip or tosser phone)
