I finally switched to a password manager after my Gmail got hit

I used to reuse the same password with small changes for everything, like 'Password123' for my bank and 'Password1234' for my email. After a credential stuffing attack got into my Gmail six months ago, I set up Bitwarden. Now I have a unique, 16-character random password for every single account, and I only have to remember one master phrase. Has anyone else had a good experience with a specific manager, or found a better way to handle the master password?

Totally get that, @drew791. I was the same way until a scare like yours made the switch to a manager feel totally worth it.

Oh man, was the setup process pretty smooth or did you hit any snags along the way? Just curious if it's one of those things you can get done in an afternoon or if it drags out.

How was setting up Bitwarden for you? That credential stuffing stuff is so scary, glad you made the switch.
