What it that one password gets brute-forced...?

I agree that animal hospitals can be absolutely outrageous. For example, my office charges around $250 dollars per pet for annual vaccinations. That's why I recommend vaccine clinics. They are super affordable and honestly, pet owners don't need to come to a hospital for vaccines. We are a hospital. If your pet is sick or injures, please come see us. But if they are doing great and just need a shot or two, there's no reason to spend the money on out services.

Yes, it automatically puts in details into the browser, or you can input from the extension, it’s really simple. Not sure about other apps like steam though. You can view your passwords at any point and copy them to clipboard.

Yes, I disable any saved credentials in chrome and don’t use it.

It takes a bit to get used to, especially the daily browser login but it becomes second nature quickly. I understand its safer, but do you think for an Average Joe is worth it? Wouldn't 2 step auth for most apps be enough? Different passwords too. Say, the websites I won't put any payment info I use a a simple password but the ones that have my payment info and are more sensitive I use stronger passwords and 2 steps auth. Wouldn't you think that's enough, at least for your average Joe that only has like 1k euros in his bank? I guess it depends on what value you put on what’s behind the password. If I had to choose between either a password safe or 2fa, I would definitely choose 2fa as a security measure as I used to do exactly as you described. It was actually the benefit of having passwords saved across multiple devices and not wanting to use chrome profiles that initially got me using last pass, now I use most of its features including different passwords for every login Unfortunately, that's entirely on you. But one of the main functions of password managers is to help you not have to remember so many passwords.
Make sure that your master password is secure, unique, and memorable.

As long as you use a sufficiently long and unique password (say, 18 characters at least), it would take longer than the entire age of the universe to guess it with with current technology.

Does it insert your passwords automatically in the browser only or on other platforms too? (steam, minecraft launcher, thunderbird)

Most password managers have browser extensions and apps to help you autofill the appropriate fields.

And what happens to all your passwords saved in your browser? Do you delete them all and disable password saving on browser alltogether?

The password saving feature baked in your browser should be just as secure as most other password managers (i.e. they encrypt your password using a strong encryption algorithm that can be opened by a key/master password that you created), but what they lack is features.
A good password manager should be able to at least let you generate long, random passwords for your accounts. Other features include password sharing, account leak & breach notifications, among other things. Regarding the last paragraph, Firefox has most of these features. What I have seen is viruses on chrome that REPLACE the whole Chrome browser with an exact copy of it that sends passwords to a hacker, that is why I'm looking into a password manager, hasn't happened to me but I'm quite scared after a friend (who is almost completely tech illiterate, but still... better safe than sorry) had all his accounts stolen this way. Last pass is a very trusted password manager. It has been written about in countless news articles, (you can do ur own research if u don’t trust random ppl on reddit) so it can be trusted. You set a base password, preferably one that you can remember because if you forget, there’s not much you can do. Once you type in your base password to the website, you can see all your passwords (which you can set to be private with like a pin or smthn I think). There are other password managers but I like this one especially. It also comes with a password generator. This what I fear the most. That's why I haven't changed my email password to a random alphanumeric password. So that even if I forget my password manager's password or something else happens, I can still possibly reset the password using my email. Salted hashing (most likely, maybe something similar) prevents them from knowing your master password and all your "actual" passwords are encrypted with your email/master-pass as the keys.

So, even if someone hacked the password manager they'd only have a bunch of encrypted data without any of the keys. Think of it like someone stealing your safety deposit box from the bank, except that it's impossible to open the box without the key you own (indestructible, unpickable lock, etc). If you go with a password manager that has a large userbase, you shouldn't worry about this. The company would be trashed very quickly once it was found out that they were selling password info. Not to mention they'd be liable for damages caused. Definitely civil charges and likely criminal charges.

Big companies use password managers to store their private information so their employees can function well. Those big companies would not hesitate to go for the throat if their data was compromised by the password manager.
