    Using different passwords for different services protects you against data leaks opening attack vectors for all your services as well as malicious actors using your passwords like that as well as phishing impact.

    A password manager is a must for reasonable security.

    I use keepass. Local DB file with Master password. No hosted service or Browser extension is another layer of protection, of risk reduction. I manually copy/sync the DB file via cloud storage as a backup and for mobile use.

    I use Browser password storage selectively. The most critical stuff definitely only belongs into my memory and password database.
