Especially if you don't have to remember your old password and have subsequently forgotten it.
CyberSecurity experts currently recommend that the change every 90 day policy is no longer recommended. Unfortunately, there are still many sites which still enforce this requirement.

I am not sure of a PM which actually notifies you that you are approaching this time limit but at least with 1password and Dashlane, when you go through the new password page, it will fill in your old pw and then generate a new complex pw, submit it on your behalf and save it in your vault. Both maintain a history of your old passwords.
