That's one password, and then use 2FA or a passkey or a yubinkey or anything to secure it so the security of the password isn't a big deal
Then go to every single thing you have a password for, and have the password manager set it to something random. I personally like pass phrases get it up in the teens of characters multiple words multiple numbers multiple special characters. 99.9% of the time you shouldn't be typing any of this in. It should be injected for you. If per chance you should need to type one of them in typing in four or five words some numbers and some special characters is not really a horrible grievance.
Store the passwords using KeePass; it is awesome, secure, and free. I've used it for nearly 20 years. Never once had a problem.
Bonus points if you use a comma for a special character, because I hear commas are a small inconvenience for hackers scraping usernames, passwords en masse. Fuck those guys.
Many (most?) password managers, including KeePass, have a feature to generate passwords directly in the tool.

For everybody commenting on passwords manager, I've been using one for years now and I feel this so bad. My company has a password policy of changing the LAPTOP's password every 8 weeks and you can't reuse any of the last 10 passwords used. I hate it because I can't use a password manager to unlock my laptop and I'm so used to password managers by now that it's getting really hard to come up with new passwords that follow the stupid requirements and even worse remembering them. I'm veeeery close to just start noting them down in a notebook by my machine and then send a picture to our security guy to show him where he has gotten us all to
You should do that unironically. The current best practices advises against frequent password changes for exactly that reason.
Write a script that sets the password to 10 different passwords, then back to your original password.
I save it my password manager and can pull it on other devices. Still annoying, but not the worst. Honestly the worst is passwords with a character limit, and even worse when it's "small" like 16

Has to be 16 characters
So long as I can use more than that, I won't complain. I don't remember the service, but I definitely remember one where they wouldn't allow over a certain amount of characters and that was annoying because that was when I was still using repeat passwords back in highschool. My preferred password at the time was roughly 20 characters, but apparently that was too much because who cares about security, am I right?

Quick question friends:
If I'm already using bitwarden and decide to switch to self-hosting it; can I import my usernames and such?
I would most likely change all the passwords, but being able to migrate the websites (with corresponding username) would be kinda nice
You should be able to export and import all your logins as a file. I did this when i moved from lastpass to bitwarden a while back
What painting is that?
!!! PASSWORD TOO WEAK !!! - your password must contains upper and lowercase characters, digits and symbols except not a hyphen for some fucking reason,, and no characters you've ever used in past passwords and no digits that are in your postal code, data of birth, or shoe size. Zalgo text is acceptable.

Just 4 characters are enough. And it includes Cap.
If you don’t want to use a password manager it’s not that hard to create long passwords. Just create a nonsense sentence with a misspelling with a character between each word and add some obscure personal info that isn’t directly linked to you, like a phone number of an old childhood friend or pizza place you used to call often when you were young so it’s easy to remember but not info another person can find about you. Then add a special character.
