    I like your thinking. Here an example why password manager make sense. If you would use the same password at every website and one of the would be for example Facebook, and they would get breached. Your password associated with your username and email , is now know to some hacker group. And in case of Facebook, the password is not hashed , it was stored in plain text. Now they have fun to try different websites with combinations of your name , email and password.

    Alternatively a password manager stores for every website a different password, and your only mission is to keep that manager secure with a good , rememberable password.

    Also , what I do , is using an email alias service. So I have a different Password and Email for each account. I don’t have to care if something gets breached, I am safe and aware of what information gets stolen.

    And for future, we could all use passkeys and FIDO2 to block most phishing attempts.
