Default Storing toft after thawing?

Hello! I'm a visitor here who is new to tofu.

I have some extra-firm tofu in the freezer. I plan to thaw, squeeze/drain
and use part of it, but want to keep the rest for another day. Do I treat
it the same as tofu that had never been frozen, i.e. put it under water in
the fridge and change the water every day?

What happens if you forget to change the water one day? DO you have to
discard the tofu?

thanks!
Chris

Tofu question part deux: And....can you re-freeze the leftover thawed tofu?
Thanks for your patience. I Googled, but could not find answers to these
specific questions, so I appreciate any good pointers you can pass along.

I can't answer for tofu inparticular, but I think it's generally
considered a bad idea to refreeze anything. Especially dairy, but
with tofu being high protein, I'd recommend against it.

It is not recommended that you re-freeze tofu... not sure why other than
bacteria... once you have thawed the tofu it should be used that day... I've
been cooking with tofu for around 30 yrs and seen tofu go off in a day very
easily.... have a beautiful day....
