Serious question, how many of you still use the same password for everything?

I did that for years until my old email got hit in a breach last month. Now I use a password manager and it creates a new, strong one for every single site. What's your go-to method for keeping track of them all?

What changed your mind, was it a scary breach like mine?

Honestly, it feels like people make too big a deal about this... I still use a couple simple passwords for most things and nothing bad has happened yet.

Here's something nobody's bringing up. Passwords aren't really the main problem anymore because so many sites let you log in with your Google or Facebook account. I just use that single sign-on for everything now, and I don't even remember passwords for most sites. The real issue is when one of those big accounts gets hacked and suddenly someone can access all your linked stuff. Does anyone actually check what apps have access to their Google account?
