I chose a password manager over my memory palace, and my memory lost badly
Two years ago I had 61 different logins and I kept them all in my head using a system of patterns. I thought I was clever, until a site I stopped using in 2021 got hit and I couldn't remember if that same pattern was on my bank. I finally sat down and picked between a paid manager for $36 a year or a free open source one I had to set up myself. I went with the paid one, mostly out of laziness, and it generated a 20 character random password for every single account in one afternoon. Six weeks later my email got flagged in a credential stuffing list and nothing worked because every login was unique. If you are still reusing two or three passwords across 40 sites, what is actually stopping you from switching?

Ha, what's stopping me is every manager gets hacked eventually.
