Is there a password manager that allows mass or bulk password changes?

I don’t have fricking time to change 75+ passwords on individual websites.

Password Manager Pro handles our root admin password changes on a lot of servers. Will it push to websites?

I use LastPass on all my browsers and phones. Uses a master password, can turn on Authenticator on your phone(google authenticator app). Can have SMS protect etc. Works great and I love it. It has helped me many times after I setup a new PC and need to get back into all my website and programs to install/setup new PC. Plus it lets me use very complicated random passwords for important things like my banking so it won't be guessed by someone. There's a free and paid plan depending how you want to use it. I have done fine with the free version for years now.

I don’t think there’s an app that will do this for you

You have time to recreate your system after being hacked?
Take the time and change your passwords.

LastPass could change passwords on most websites in an automated fashion. I use BitWarden now, which cannot do this.

I suggest importing your vault into LastPass, running the process to mass change those passwords passwords, then export the vault into your vault of choice, and delete the LastPass vault. I'm not as down on LastPass as most, but to each their own.

However, the varying password rules of even mainstream sites are so shitty (no longer than 12 characters, no longer than 16, must include special characters but not !$ or &, no repeating characters, etc.) that you may have to change a bunch of them by hand anyway.

Change your master password for any password manager to about 32 characters. Will never be cracked. Then go in and change those 75 passwords one time and you will be good. Also, please, please, please make all 75 passwords DIFFERENT. Also, since you are using a password manager you don't have to remember them. Make those passwords phrases.

A little pain but if you don't follow certain security measures no password manager is safe.
