I am not trying to plug for a particular Password manager, but I started using one about a year ago. There are many - 1Password, LastPass, etc. I personally use LastPass. I think it costs 30 dollars a year. You remember ONE master password, and use the software to generate these crazy custom unique passwords for each website you visit. There is an app for mobile phone, a plug-in on the browser on computer(s). It works on my business machine, personal laptop, iPhone and iPad. Amazing how much simpler life has become since I started using it. I highly recommend looking into one
Might wanna rethink Last Pass cowboy. They just had a breach…

I got the email, supposedly no passwords were lost, they are stored encrypted anyway and don't save my Master Password to access that data. Any software that touches the internet is subject to hacks, which is why more and more data is stored encrypted.
I know this cowboy, but it did not affect the password security. This is why I did not say I am recommending a particular one, just the advice to use the concept. I am not pleased their dev environment got hacked, but for now I am sticking with them. I understand their software architecture well enough to be comfortable still using them.
Quote from them:
We have determined that an unauthorized party, using information obtained in the August 2022 incident, was able to gain access to certain elements of our customers' information. Our customers' passwords remain safely encrypted due to LastPass's Zero Knowledge architecture.
Live your life I guess. Was just tryin to help but it seems you'd rather be angry. Not sure what you do for a living but if it aint cybersec perhaps people here would be best to avoid your advice on password managers…
Their storage was left vulnerable. That's a company I don't trust with my sensitive creds. Tells me they aren't conducting external pen tests regularly or this would've been found.

This is why I'm a 1Password fan for over 10 years now.
One of my colleagues is a big fan of them. I'm still too stubborn and cheap to use a pwd mgr
. I go off a memory system I've used since about 99 that works pretty well for me. Never the same pwd twice between sites, domains, or systems and a little math differentiates them for me. The older I get the harder it gets though. Tried to explain it to my wife once how I create pwds and kept em straight. She looked at me like pickles were growing out of my ears so since then I just keep it to myself. 
Got mine updated!

While I am not married to this software, I don't see any reason to change right now. Any password to a site that involves $, medical or security has 2-factor authentication so even if they are to crack my PW, they would have to have my phone/email info as well.
I hate passwords. I'm more for immediate execution of crooks/hackers. Makes our lives easier… however dumbocrats are for "fixing ppl".. so I guess i lose
For a Security company to have a breach is egregious. Especially egregious when the breach was so easily preventable. If my company had a contract with this company it would be terminated. As security practitioners we tend to hold ourselves to a higher standard. LastPass has been the butt of a lot of industry jokes the last week or so

Sure if I was paying for the service I may, underline MAY, switch to another company, but as I am not, and again, my PW is safe, so I am ok with it at the moment.
They told you it was. I wear a tinfoil hat by trade, trust isn't a luxury I can afford. Beauty of a free country though…
In God I trust. All others bring data

How do we know if any of the ads are from scammers? Are they just asking for electronic payments like has been mentioned? Any other things to look out for? Appreciate it, I changed my password and did the two-step authentication.
I would advise calling them, maybe talking to a member who knows them. Normally a conversation will scare off a true scammer.
Just got my PW updated. My account seems to be working at the moment. Where does one opt into 2 step authentication? I must have missed it.
I must have missed the 2 step also.
