I was just trying to learn, I use bitwarden+Keepass 😆

Good choice. I like KeePassXC and Bitwarden.

Your storing in password protected zip file is better than storing it plain text in a file on your computer but the password encryption of zip is probably not that strong. A friend of mine insists on using a disk encrypted pen drive with an office document having his passwords. I hope he has a backup drive :)
