I'm usually the one promoting technical literacy to all but in this case I honestly don't use a password manager.
It's honestly seemed like more trouble than it's worth, there's a few websites where I just reset my password every time.
The thing that makes it worth it to me is long, randomly generated passwords that I don't have to know.
None of the sites and services I use require me to type out a password thanks to browser integration and auto type (for desktop apps and such), along with autofill service on android.
Then along with that I can even store other things like account recovery codes (for 2fa) or security questions (which also get randomly generated answers)... It's a handy thing to have IMHO
