Why is that every time there is a problem with something I have signed up for, the solution involves signing up for something else? Or, more likely, three other things?

The think about the Yahoo breech is that it happened 3 years ago, and I've changed my password a few times since then.
Didn't Last Pass get breached too?
Yeah, I changed mine last August, when there were rumors of a breach, then again in October, when the smaller breach hit the news, and then again a couple days ago.
I'm having trouble figuring out how to use LastPass. Like, it automatically did.... something... or tried to, at seven websites, one of which I have zero memory of ever having heard of before let alone signing up for (and then there is Linked In which I have heard of but remember deciding not to sign up for), but I can't figure out how to get LastPass to do whatever it is it does with any more websites.
Didn't Last Pass get breached too?
Cue panic attack and suicidal ideation.
I don't like password handling systems, because I don't want to give a service control of my passwords. I may not be the most creative in creating passwords, but they're in my head (and in a subfolder of a gay porn folder that should distract anyone poking around where they shouldn't).
You could hide them in a folder named "EULAs". No one would look there.
(...except everyone who just read this post. Don't be criminals, people!)
LastPass got partially breached. The first of five layers of hashed/encyryption was breached for some thousand accounts, LastPass caught it, stopped it, changed things.
That's a bit more reassuring, thanks. I still can't really figure out how to make it work on more than the first seven sites.
