Was skeptical about using a password manager for years, finally gave in after losing 4 accounts

I fought against password managers for a long time. Thought keeping everything in my head was the safe way to do things. Then last summer I had three email accounts and one social media account get hacked because I reused the same password on different sites. My brother recommended Bitwarden and I finally tried it about 6 months ago. Took me maybe 20 minutes to set up and now I have unique passwords for every single login. The two-factor authentication part made me nervous but it's actually pretty easy. Has anyone else had trouble convincing family members to make the switch?

My brother talked me into Bitwarden too and I felt foolish for not doing it sooner once I saw how easy it was to actually use.
