Use Different Passwords for Every Account

The Problem

You use 'Fluffy2019!' for everything — email, bank, Amazon, Netflix.

The Hack

Use a password manager (Bitwarden is free) to generate and store a unique random password for every account. You remember only the master password.

Why It Works

When LinkedIn was breached, hackers tested those passwords on banking sites — and millions worked. Unique passwords mean one breach affects only one account.

Pro Tips

  • Bitwarden: free, cross-platform, excellent
  • 1Password ($3/month): great for families
  • Your browser's built-in password manager works too
  • Never reuse passwords — this is the #1 security rule
