Almost got my accounts wiped because I reused a password from 2015

I figured my old Yahoo password from like 10 years ago was safe enough for a random forum I signed up for. Last month I got a notification that someone logged into that forum from Russia and tried the same password on my email. That scared me straight. Has anyone else gotten caught sleeping on password managers and had to scramble?

Bitwarden saved my butt. Free version works fine.

Saved my butt" is the perfect way to put it, @ward.fiona. I've had that exact same feeling more than once. Bitwarden just works without trying to upsell you every five minutes. The free version gives you everything you actually need, and that's rare these days. I swear by it for keeping all my logins straight across devices. No complaints here.
