IDK about any "standard operating procedure" for passwords, but I have a single password manager password, a couple computer login passwords, and my phone pin/pass memorized. The rest relies on the hope that nobody has access to my password manager and I don't have any keyloggers or any other nasty malware/virus/whatever installed on my device.
I have yet to do BIOS password stuff or FDE, but memorization is probably the best way to keep them safe.
On a side note, anybody have some experience with encrypting a drive that's been in use for a few years and is full of stuff? I'm a little apprehensive to just encrypt a drive and realize I fucked up and be locked out forever.
Edit:
Bank password also memorized! That's an important one I would never store in a password manager.
I can't help you with full encryption after the fact, but if you do decide to do it, make a snapshot first. Clonezilla makes it easy, and you can encrypt it.
If anything goes wrong when you do the encryption, you can always roll back to your snapshot.
