Got totally scammed.  Login.gov supposedly sent me a very official looking 
email saying someone had logged in a few hours ago.  Nobody logged in a few 
hours ago.  I scanned the header and it looked legit.  

 

It recommended that I change my password.  Clicked the change password button 
(without looking at the URL it was directing me to) and went to a very official 
looking page.  

 

But it only asked for the new password once.  That should have stopped me but I 
still clicked.  Then immediately tried to login with the new password and I 
realized I was cooked.  So I immediately changed passwords on sites that used 
that old password and properly changed the password on login.gov

 

I am seriously considering going to a password managers.  I know nothing about 
them, how they work or if they are trustworthy.  I use 2FA everywhere I can.  

 

Opinions?
