Like the other commenter said - people recommend them for peace of mind so you don’t have to think about knowing a password for the 2653rd account you set up once and are never using again. It’s the next best thing to just remembering complex passwords.
I’ve used Dashlane for years, personally, but I know people here will immediately shut that down for not being FOSS. Bitwarden is FOSS but requires some technical setup and has no redundancy.
Don’t get me wrong, I love self-hosting as much as the rest of us but I’m not trusting my server from 2013 with all my passwords to everything.

Bitwarden offers a cloud-based service in addition to self-hosted options. I choose to pay $10/year to get access to store OTP codes and easy Yubikey enrollment
