I'll throw in an opinion here - if you only use passwords for websites, then use your browser's built-in password manager (they've all got one now!) That will do all the right things as above, and especially, it will stop you from typing in the wrong password in the wrong place when you inevitably click on a phishing link - because you can't! In addition, when you are surprised that your browser hasn't filled out the login screen for you, you are alerted to the fact that something has gone wrong - so you can report the email you clicked on! :)
Great advice, thank you Mark!
