What I am asking, does anyone know of a usable password manager that you can use currently used passwords rather than an unmemorable endless string of randomness? I use lengthy intentionally misspelled passphrases that I can actually remember if I need to use in an emergency on any device (banks, vpn and email) other than these I don't care as I'm not really signed up for any "services"
Correct me if I'm wrong, or maybe I'm mis-interpreting what you're looking for, but can't all password managers do this? You can enter in your information for the sites you use, or they also give you the option of a password generator. For example, in KeePassXC you enter in your information, but you have the option of using a password generator at that time to create a more secure password (and you can change how the generator works, to better suit your needs):
KeePassXC: Getting Started Guide
I don't have much experience with a lot of managers, but I assume they all function in this way more or less, because you would already have passwords that you want to use in circulation.
I'm more clueless than you so I have no idea, I keep my passphrases in my head and for less commonly used in a physical book hence the reason I asked. I will check out your link. Every time I've previously looked at password managers this usage I'm referring to wasn't readily apparent.
Hopefully someone else can chime in with what they use, but I know keepassxc also gives you the passphrase option, with possible changes to how that gets generated as well, so you could always have randomly generated passphrases that you could possibly remember (or not, depending if you're like me lol)
I use Keepass 2, and it has both options; that is, it can generate for me, but I can also just type in the ones I want.
But again, I'm a bit old school, as I've just always used Keepass, and not anything available to me online etc.
I do hope you find a solution!
KeePassXC to the rescue:
You can choose whatever criteria you want to generate random passwords or passphrases. You can specify the individual character sets you want to use for the former, and whatever list of words for the latter.
For example, you could tell it to generate passphrase out of Pokemon names if you wanted to.
There's the Getting Started user guide (linked above) and the User Guide, which is much more complete with examples:
Thanks for all the replies

all password managers should auto detect a password you type .
meaning you could have the password manager open/active , then go to your sites and fill in your credentials and it should ask to save.
and there you go , next time it will autofill.
on another note , here's another interesting way one could use a password manager
