It is very helpful to use a password manager. That way, you can have unique and complex passwords for each important site, and not worry about forgetting them, even when you change them. Hard to live without it.

As for sandboxing your browser: if you use a secure and updated browser on a modern and updated OS, sandboxing is a luxury and not a necessity.

Right. It's not needed. But if you want to go paranoid, or just like playing around with it, use a good sandbox for your browser: Sandboxie, Comodo, ReHIPS, Shade sandbox are all good.
Regarding Comodo, I do not mean their custom browser, which I would not trust, and same goes for Avast custom browser. I mean to sandbox your regular browser using the appropriate function in Comodo Firewall.
