WHY SHOULD YOU USE A PASSWORD MANAGER?
There's actually a very short and simple answer to this question:
Password reuse defeats the purpose of passwords.
A password is a piece of secret data, a string of characters used to authenticate a user's identity. A good password on the other hand, is an arbitrary string of characters including lowercase and uppercase letters, digits and special characters. The longer the password is, the better. The better the password, the harder to memorize it.
Password reuse is a very serious cybersecurity problem, therefore, you should never use the same password on more than one account. If you do, only one account’s exposure puts all your other accounts at risk. Therefore, an average internet user who has cybersecurity awareness has hundreds of different passwords.
This is where good password managers like Virgo Password Manager come in handy.
You only have to memorize your master password and Virgo Password Manager keeps all your passwords safe.

HOW VIRGO PASSWORD MANAGER KEEPS YOUR PASSWORDS SAFE
Virgo Password Manager (VPM) generates an encrypted database to keep all your sensitive data and stores this database locally on your computer. This secure database is encrypted with AES-256 (Advanced Encryption Standard) algorithm, which is also used by U.S. government to secure their top secret data. AES is a symmetric-key algorithm, where the same key is used for both encrypting and decrypting the data.
Your secure database is what holds your data and your master password is the one and only way to access the data in your secure database. Therefore it's imperative that you regularly take backups of your secure database and don't lose your master password.
If you lose your master password, there's absolutely no way to access the data in your secure database.
