PSA: My password manager flagged 87 reused passwords across my old accounts.

I finally ran a security audit and seeing that exact number made me realize how much one leaked password could have wrecked everything, so what's the best way to start cleaning up a mess like that?

Start with your most important accounts like email and banking, change those passwords first. Use the password generator in your manager to make new ones, it's the easiest way. Just chip away at a few each day until the list is gone.

Solid plan. I'd add that you should check for any saved logins in your browser and clear those out too. The browser's built in manager often keeps old passwords you forgot about.
