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
