How is a Password manager any better than my way?  I use a Word file that I encrypt / decrypt as needed to see the plain text.

Has search, copy paste etc.

Because cloud-based services work anywhere and on any device. It might not be an issue for everyone, but I have many devices I use - both iPad & Android tablets, several PCs, laptop, some systems running MacOS, smart phone etc. I also have many IoT devices, some of which have administrator logins (ESP32s with web-based admin), plus a lot of other equipment (Ubiquiti networking kit, smart PDU strips, Liebert UPS systems, many RPis, even some nixie clocks...) that have logins too.

Wherever I am and whatever I'm using, the passwords are available.
