As long as that password is the one for your password manager, all good
If you mean it's the same password you send to basically every website you visit:
It is a matter of time before your password is leaked in a data breach, if that's not already happened.
Yeah I do not understand this attitude in this day and age. Password managers are ubiquitous. It’s so fucking easy and will make you so much safer. There’s absolutely ZERO reason to not use one.
Any reccomendation?

This, may i add. Create a key file also and rotate it every 3 months for added security.
Bitwarden hasn’t steered me wrong yet.
I would just keep away from close source ones, especially if they do youtuber sponsorships.
Personally I use KWalletManager because I'm lazy and it was already installed.
ProtonPass.
Dashlane is my favorite
I just use the one built in to firefox. No problems so far
The firefox one is good, but Bitwarden lets you skip some dumb assumptions in the Firefox password manager (like 2FA TOTP secret as second password, backup recovery key as third password, no username, no password).
I recommend 1Password. Never a leak, never sold data, just a good manager with proper integrations, lets you generate totp codes in the manager, can hook up ssh creds so they’re not sitting in plaintext on your drive. Many people wouldn’t recommend closed source which I understand, but I do use it for this.
I don’t think I know anyone who uses a password manager other than me, I try to convince friends and family but they all look at me like I’m some recluse weirdo.
Changing the password on my password manager is so stressful.
Legit have to plan a good time of year to upend my life like that.
That's very dangerous. It's still a very good method to write the most important passwords into a little notebook and put it somewhere not totally obvious at home.
1 really good password (for your password manager) > 20 passwords only good enough if the software can prevent bruteforcing
Until the really good password gets leaked and now you have 19 more exposed accounts
nvm I either didn't see it was for the passqord manager or you edited it afterwards
My password manager doesn't have network functions and I use Linux, so that's rather unlikely. If my device got infected with malware (keyloggers etc.), I doubt the difference between one really good password and 20 good passwords that I somehow remember would matter.
You'll need to have the password manager database to be leaked too for that
give us a hint, lets make this fun
I have a base password that I modify in somewhere 2 characters after the middle to derive all my other passwords from and yeah it's the only cool thing I have.
