Not using a password manager (be it digital or simply a paper notebook) is just asking for a breach or getting hacked.

No one can remember the amount and complexity of passwords that are needed to live a secure digital live.

Every service/account you register for years now and couldn't live without it. I've set up a paper notebook for my mother and that works too.

But reusing passwords or using too short or insecure passwords is the number one reason why people get hacked or stuff gets leaked and stolen.

As a side note: a secure password doesn't have to include weird characters. Just make it long. Everything with 32 chars of letters and numbers or longer will be super secure for a while. And because your password manager takes of it, you don't even notice.
