It's a must if you want secure passwords. My gf doesn't use one - her passwords are all re-used variations of l33tsp34k that are pretty easy to guess (I can get into her accounts in a few tries if I need to). But also she forgets them often.
I'm currently still on LastPass. I've been meaning to spin up my own password manager that just stores everything locally.
I use bitwarden, and have a random password for every account. Moreso I also have a random email for each service I sign up for, using Cloudflare email routes.
It gives me the peace of mind that when one account is compromised I just reset the password, in case of spam: change the email address, and continue on with my day.
For work I use KeePass and 1password, but I do prefer Bitwarden due to its price. 1Password is more feature rich with it's types of credentials you can store, however. It's a nice-to-have that I can store TOTP as well and that I can share passwords with my partner
For a very long time I only used browser stored passwords; at one point I wanted to use Vivaldi on my smartphone, but at the beginning it didn't have password sync, so I had to figure out something. I think this is when I first tried LastPass, but got discouraged from using it by 1) their security incidents and 2) them removing mobile device sync from their free tier. This is when I switched over to BitWarden, which I've been using ever since; I'm currently even considering hosting my own instance of it.
I use SafeInCloud, compatible with all the operaring systems I use and I only had to pay a one time fee of 5 dollars (if I remember correctly).
I don't know how someone can remember secure passwords without a password manager.. My password manager 10 years ago was basically a text file. Moving to Bitwarden from LastPass the only thing I miss is easily creating a folder when saving a new credential.
I've never used a password manager before. I use 2FA or Passkeys on anything that supports them.
I use keeper which appears to be one of the less popular ones if the comments are anything to go by here but it's served me well, the browser extension and android app are pretty good too with only a few websites flaking out and requiring copy pasting of password
I think having to use a different password for each website but struggling to remember it is determinant to the centralization of the internet, but have an anecdote as well:
Trying to send a Marshall Rosenberg video to a homeless I've sent him my health coverage instead. I immediately changed it and nothing else happened. It only took me a few minutes.
I wouldn't be able to make things work without a password manager. Except in my case I can't bring myself to trust an online third-party with my password data, so I've just being using an offline personal password manager called pwsafe for close to 2 decades, it's worked out perfect for me.
