Answer 1

Because they prevent you from doing worse things- like using bad passwords because they’re easier for you to remember, or reusing the same password for everything, or writing down your passwords

Edit: for those asking, writing down your password is particularly dangerous in shared spaces (like corporate offices). Imagine a scenario where a school teacher, who has access to all of the students grades and personal information, has their password written on a sticky note on their monitor
