For some time, Google Chrome has been warning about passwords that have been identified as part of a security breach, but I hadn't realized that they've added some new checks to the features. If you use the Check Passwords feature it will also warn you about passwords that you've used more than once and weak passwords.
It might not be as good as using a password manager like LastPass, but it's certainly worth running the check. I'm fairly careful about assigning passwords to my accounts and it found more things than I expected for me to clean up.
This article from Wired explains how to use it and also mentions similar features on other browsers like Safari.
