If you use the same password for everything, it only takes one breach for your other accounts to be compromised.
Yeah, I got quite a scare there. If it weren't for my more important logins required more complex passwords, they too would probably be the same.
I think it's time I get a place to store all my passwords other than Chrome, although it was useful in alerting me about the breach.

after storing your stuff there create a zip file using as an example 7zip program which is an open source compressing tool with an AES256 encryption. so next time you want to add an account or password open the archived file with your main password that you remember and then the txt file and add your new stuff, then close it and press ok to confirm the update without creating another txt file. Now you are done and you only remember one password to open that archive. also you have to duplicate your archive to another flash drive as a mean of security incase you lose your hard drive or something.
