My sister asked why I still use the same password for everything

We were talking about her new job at a clinic in Tampa and she mentioned their mandatory security training. She looked at me and said, 'You're the tech person, but you still use 'Fluffy2018' for everything, right?' It hit me that I was telling her to be careful while doing the exact thing I warn people about. How do you actually start remembering a bunch of different passwords without writing them down?

Ugh, password managers freak me out. Putting all your keys in one digital basket seems like a huge risk to me. I'd rather stick with a few strong variations I can actually remember.

Ever feel the same until @robin_wright convinced me?

Password managers are the only way to go. Let it create and store crazy strong passwords for you. You only need to remember one master password for the manager itself. It auto-fills logins on your phone and computer. I switched a few years back and it just takes all the stress away.
