One advantage of password managers that include password generators (that suggest strong passwords for you) is that you don't have to remember all those strong passwords, but instead only the one password of your choice, the "master password," that decrypts the database or file of encrypted passwords, so that you can copy and paste the username/password into various websites' login fields. Most password managers make it easier than copying and pasting, often including keyboard-character shortcuts that do the copying/pasting for you. However, it is important to regularly make backup copies of one's encrypted passwords file or database in case the current one becomes corrupted (that has never happened to me, but it could conceivably happen). A popular non-cloud-based password manager is KeePass for Windows or Linux (also presumably for Mac OS). KeePass is available in two versions now, with a newer database-file format superseding an older one.
