Reusing the same few passwords everywhere is one of the biggest security risks most people take without realizing it.

Why It Matters

When one website suffers a data breach, reused passwords let attackers try that same login across many other sites, a technique called credential stuffing. A password manager generates and stores a unique, strong password for every account automatically.

Getting Started

Many browsers and phone operating systems now include a built-in password manager that requires no setup cost or extra app. Start by letting it generate new passwords for your most important accounts, like email and banking, then gradually update the rest over time.

The upfront effort of switching is small compared to the protection it provides against increasingly common data breaches.
