Password managers made me lazy, a breach at work woke me up

I trusted my manager app completely for 4 years, even reusing the same master password across my banking and email because I figured it was encrypted anyway. Then our Denver office got hit with a phishing attack in March, and the IT guy showed me how 12 of us had identical login patterns that made us easy targets. That moment I realized the tool wasn't the problem, it was me treating it like a magic shield instead of checking my own habits. Anyone else had that gut check where the software was fine but your routine was the real weak spot?

Four years of "it's encrypted so I'm fine" sounds a lot like me with my garage door code.
