Shared passwords place you at risk if any of serval services are hacked. Password managers provide similar convenience with a smaller attack surface.

I’ve defaulted to picking random passwords for most services which I don’t bother to remember instead using password resets. But it’s inconvenient.

Yeah, I just randomize mine and keep all of that local. It's a bit strange seeing people doing the same, but over the wire though.
I like the approach but some places lockup functionality after resets. Been burned too often.
