That free password manager I ignored for a year finally won me over

I used to think those browser based password managers were just a scam to sell you upgrades. Then I had to reset 12 accounts after forgetting my login for a tax site back in March. My buddy who does IT showed me how his app auto filled everything across his phone and laptop in about 2 minutes. So I tried Bitwarden for free and now I don't even type passwords anymore. Has anyone else been burned by a hack before they finally caved and used a manager?

That "I don't even type passwords anymore" part is exactly what got me. I was the same way for years, just using the same weak password everywhere. Then my email got hacked and someone tried buying $300 in gaming skins on my card. Now I use Bitwarden too and it's honestly stupid how easy it is. My phone and laptop just sync everything without me lifting a finger. Night and day difference from resetting 12 accounts like you did.

Took me two hacked accounts before I finally switched. Now I laugh at how lazy I used to be.
