such as 1Password that make it easy to manage hundreds of unique passwords.

1Password will even tell you when a password you’re using is in a database of known compromised passwords, or when you should consider updating it because it’s old, etc. And it will generate high security PWs for you using a formula and length of your choosing.

It’s not free, but not too expensive — especially considering how much time and hassle it can save you.
