Showerthought: My email got hacked because I reused the same password everywhere. How do you manage yours?

Disagree with the unique password hype. Most breaches happen because sites get hacked. Trying to remember a different password for every account is unrealistic. You end up writing them down or resetting constantly. Focus on a few strong passwords and enable two-factor authentication. That gives better protection without the hassle.

Reusing passwords is a huge risk because hackers often try leaked logins on other sites. When you use unique ones, a breach at one company doesn't compromise your entire digital life. Password managers make it easy to handle different passwords without writing them down.

Check if the breach came from a website leak, not just your password habit. Companies get hacked ALL the time and your reused login is the weak link. Start using completely different passwords for every account.
