Attack vectors in my online security, feedback needed.
I have envisioned this setup that would fit my needs and keep my online accounts safe, and would appreciate if a more knowledgeable security person would revise it and give me feedback:Using a spare phone for 2fa (kept always offline) with recovery phrases written on a typewriter (printers have caches) and keeping them in a safeUsing lastpass for password management with FIDO u2f keyUsing a FIDO u2f key to access my main google account (which is linked to all my relevant online accounts for communication/password retrieval)My main questions with this are:Currently I use my daily phone for 2fa, but due to malware and theft, I consider this to be vulnerable. Am I paranoid, or is using a second phone offline reasonable? Also, one thing that has been bothering me is that many accounts require a telephone number as a second option in case I lose my 2fa authenticator (paypal offers only sms verification). Is it a big security risk to give these services my phone number for account recovery as someone could theoretically social engineer my operator and get a replacement sim card, or is it just paranoia?Would you reccomend any other app (lastpass seemed to have the best UI and supports u2f)? Is using a password management app a possible attack vector ?Would you reccomend using one main google account which is linked to all of my other accounts, with a very strong (30 char) password and a u2f key, or rather use multiple accounts also using u2f? This is more of a convenience issue, whether it is usefull or just a waste of time to have multiple accounts for every major account (banking, paypal, etc.).Some other question regarding general security:I am using norton antivirus on all devices. I have read very good reviews on kaspersky total security, and using norton mobile has been a total pain (significant performance impact). What alternatives would you recommend, It could even be using multiple programs (anitviruses do not catch everything). I have very limited knowledge of detection rates and benefits of using multiple security programs, so more elaboration on this would be helpful.Any help would be greatly appreciated. I know this is a complex post, so thank you to anyone who bothers reading.

Is free SSL as good as paid SSL?
I want to get SSL for my website and saw that I can get it free at www.letsencrypt.org versus having to pay for it through my website host. Is this free SSL as good as the paid SSL? Are there drawbacks to this free SSL?
