I think it's a requirement since it's much safer than having simpler and/or reused passwords across all your accounts. Used to use LastPass and Firefox Lockwise but after various issues I'm now a happily paying user of 1password, it's great and I've converted my somewhat tech illiterate family over to it. I'd try out KeePass but there's no way I'd want to administer that for my family.

I wouldn't be able to make things work without a password manager. Except in my case I can't bring myself to trust an online third-party with my password data, so I've just being using an offline personal password manager called pwsafe for close to 2 decades, it's worked out perfect for me.
It's a must if you want secure passwords. My gf doesn't use one - her passwords are all re-used variations of l33tsp34k that are pretty easy to guess (I can get into her accounts in a few tries if I need to). But also she forgets them often.
I've been rocking the new proton pass, had good luck with it so far.
I think having to use a different password for each website but struggling to remember it is determinant to the centralization of the internet, but have an anecdote as well:
Trying to send a Marshall Rosenberg video to a homeless I've sent him my health coverage instead. I immediately changed it and nothing else happened. It only took me a few minutes.
Been using 1password family subscription for years. Absolutely swear by it.
I'm using KeePassXC and syncing the db over cloud storage, but sometimes updating the db gets tricky if it is contemporary opened on more devices, one instance in each different app (e.g. mobile and desktop at the same time, db stored on nextcloud/GDrive/OneDrive or even just synced over syncthing). I'd prefer the apps would simply access the db like the FF Extension does, while the db file is opened only by a single server, always running app somewhere reachable.
That's why I'm also always thinking about maybe I should switch to Bitwarden, which is equally reliable as security goes and even more usable, but then I get a bit off put the SaaS nature of it, and its limitations too, for instance even the paid tier has only 1GB of storage space, while I use KeepassXC as vault to store a lot of legal documents too, which in time could easily gets to 1GB, but on the other hand its server nature approach makes it a lot more usable on the user end.
I use iOS, but I will say Bitwarden all the way, even if it’s implementation is not perfect on iOS. I’m sure it’s even better on Android.
One another Bitwarden user chiming in!
I started with LastPass but they started making things difficult enough on the mobile side that I decided to jump ships. Bitwarden also is a smoother app to use - LastPass felt clunkier (I've used only the free side on both).
