Used a password manager for 6 months after saying they were overkill

I used to think password managers were just another subscription to pay for, but my buddy in IT convinced me to try Bitwarden after I got locked out of my bank account for the third time. Turns out remembering 20 different passwords is impossible without reusing them everywhere, which is exactly what I was doing lol. Now I don't have to reset my Netflix password every week because I kept forgetting it. Has anyone else had a moment where a simple tool saved them from their own bad habits?

Switched to one last year and honestly it was a game changer for me.

Did you stick with it even after the first week or two when setting everything up felt like a chore? I almost gave up on mine because I kept getting annoyed at having to save every login manually. Once it was all in there though, I couldn't imagine going back.

Stick with it even when it feels like a hassle at first. I almost quit too because saving every single login was boring and took forever. But once everything was in there, it was like a weight lifted off my shoulders. I stopped resetting passwords constantly and finally felt in control of my accounts. Now I actually feel annoyed when a site doesn't save properly and I have to do it again. It's worth the setup pain for the peace of mind afterwards.
