Use a Password Manager Instead of Reusing Passwords
The Problem
You use the same 2-3 passwords everywhere. One breach exposes all your accounts.
The Hack
Install Bitwarden (free), 1Password, or LastPass. Import your saved passwords. Let it generate unique 20+ character passwords for every site. Remember only the master password.
Why It Works
Reusing passwords means one breach (LinkedIn, Yahoo, Facebook) exposes every account you have. A password manager eliminates this risk while being more convenient than remembering passwords.
Pro Tips
- Bitwarden is free and excellent
- Auto-fill works in browsers and phone apps
- Generate 20+ character random passwords for every site
- If you use Chrome's built-in password manager, that works too
