Previously I used a book where I wrote down partial/cryptic passwords (enough that I could figure out what they were, but not enough that anyone else could do anything with it... they'd be lucky to even figure out what sites they were for, since I didn't write that down fully either)... it got to the point that it took me 5 minutes to even find the page I was looking for sober.

I've got about 200+ passwords in LastPass atm, but a lot of the sysadmin-type stuff like sql database passwords I still use a book.

I don't store banking passwords or anything like that of course, and tend to use 2FA when it's available, so I suppose it wouldn't be the end of the world if something did end up happening... *knock on wood*

Well then... If you have to remember 200+ passwords having a password manager is superhandy. Honestly, i do not need that many and for that reason i just remember them in my head. And the most imporatnt is my email password because it controls everything. I used LastPass, and it is the best option (not a good one, but the best one out of all the others)

If you do not have to, it is better not to use a password manager. But if you have to then, you should pick the best (the most reputable and legit one)
