Just use a password manager, then you get the benefits of having a single password to remember without the security-related downsides.
I have been wondering as of lately, I'm an old Bitwarden user and I use their generated passwords which are just a random mess for my eye, anyway when a leak occurs I usually tend to type my known passwords to match it with the leak lists, but now all this being auto generated and I be totally clueless of which is which, how would I ever notice if one of those more secure passwords are leaked?
Does Bitwarden let you know of leaked passwords as Chrome and I think Firefox does? Because I don't recall having this info in hand.
You can go into your vault and choose a password to see if it's been exposed on the web. It's a little check mark by the password.
