Password managers aren't a good idea, as they just introduces another point of failure. Think about the lastpass hacks, for example. A single hack can now compromise all of your accounts instead of just one. Better to keep your passwords simple, or (and this is my favourite) use an algorithm that converts a normal password into 'gibberish' depending on the site url. It's not much work, as there are things like https://www.pwdhash.com/ which do all the work for you.
