Read an article yesterday that said most people reuse the same three passwords everywhere

I was looking up something about my own email security and found a report from a security company called Kaspersky. It said something like 65% of people only have a handful of passwords for all their accounts. That means if one site gets hacked, a lot of their other stuff is wide open. I always thought I was being careful, but I realized I do the same thing with a few variations. How do you guys keep track of different passwords for everything without going crazy?

Used to think password managers were overkill but this post convinced me to get one.

Felt the same way for years until my cousin got hacked. Watched him spend months trying to untangle his email and bank stuff. Started using a manager last year and it's just so much easier, plus I finally have different passwords for everything.
