my bank tracks my IP and notices when I'm logging in from somewhere new and asks me security questions or sends my phone a code like Google's dounle-auth (which I use). And then it asks me if I want to remember the computer I'm on.

I've been interested in a password manager but haven't tried them. Do my passwords get stored "in the cloud" or is it a local desktop/mobile app? If it's a local desktop app, can I copy my password DB to another computer I trust like say my work computer?

been meaning to start creating new emails for different accounts. I might start doing that and just have google aggregate them into one inbox

It depends what you use. LastPass will stick them in the cloud if that's what you want.

I use Keepass, it's a local DB but I store a copy on dropbox for safety and convenience. You may not want to do that if you're really paranoid.
