I spent $80 on a fancy password manager and I'm not sure it was worth it

Everyone says you need a paid password manager for good security, so I got one last year. It does make strong passwords, but the auto-fill feature is glitchy on half the sites I use. I still end up typing things out manually, which defeats the point. The cost isn't huge, but for something that doesn't work smoothly, it feels like a waste. Has anyone else had trouble with these tools not working right on all websites?

Ever feel like you bought a fancy can opener that only works on half the cans? My password manager's auto-fill is the same. It's great for big sites like my bank, but it just sits there blinking on my local library's website or that one weird news site I use. I end up digging through the vault, copying the password, and pasting it myself. Kind of makes you wonder why you bother with the fancy version when the free one might have the same problems.

So which password manager are you using? I've found some of them are way worse than others at picking up weird login forms.
