My password was not really weak, but I have used it for too long and have it on too many accounts. I guess it's now time to figure out and switch over to 1Password.

Go ahead and swicth to 1Password or one ofthe alternatives (iCloud keychain, LastPass, etc). You will never go back.

One additional piece of advice: not only use different passwords for each site, but also different usernames. There is no reason to use DavidS at all banks. Use DavidS725926 at one bank, DavidS2648920 at another. I started this process and I do it whenever I open a new account or when I have to change a password (most banks will let you change user ID). makes is more difficult for someone to hack your accounts.
