It would be a good idea to check your email on https://haveibeenpwned.com (yes, it is a legitimate site, run by a respected internet security expert.) If your email address comes up you should probably think about changing your password on any site that you have used that email address.
Meanwhile I can thoroughly recommend 1password (no affiliation) as a way to manage different and complex non-memorable passwords for different sites and services although there are other services and apps available.
