Showerthought: my password system was a joke until my friend's Instagram got hacked

I used to just add a '1' to the end of the same basic password for everything, but my friend in Austin had her account taken over last month after a data leak. Now I use a password manager and make a unique, long password for every single site. Does anyone else think password managers are overkill, or are they the only real way to go now?

How bad could it be, @masontorres, if you just reset your password?
