I had one of my passwords compromised from some random service six years ago, and since that I use a password manager. Every account I own (the ones I remember, BTW) have unique, random and very long passwords (70 chars or more). So if one leaks, I just change one.
No matter what password manager you use (I have Enpass), you will have almost unbreakable passwords. And subscribe to Have I Been Pwned (something like that), so you are informed when the password or hash you have is seen somewhere. On Sat, Aug 4, 2018, 10:24 D.
