it simply is not plausable to remember so many complex passwords and services. i use bitwarden and i just need to remember one password, that's it. can not recommend it enough.

I switched to bitwarden after LastPass changed their offering and I'm glad I did because LastPass has had a number of security breaches since then!

I don't even know most of my passwords at this point!

Exactly. I don't know any of my passwords except my vault password, which I change every 6 months

I also remember the Google password, which is not saved in bitwarden, so if something bad happens I can limit the damage.

Yup, with so many accounts we use today, and the necessity of having strong passwords, 2FA/TOTP, and not reusing passwords across accounts, a password manager is a basic necessity.

I'd still recommend Vaultwarden through VPN if you are used to manage servers, or a KeePass database synced through any cloud storage if you're not into IT.
