Be honest. Are you reusing the same password across multiple accounts? Using your pet's name or a birthday? Writing them on a sticky note stuck to your monitor?
You're not alone, but it's a serious security risk.
Why weak passwords are dangerous
Hackers use automated tools that can guess simple passwords in seconds. And if one account gets breached, every account that shares that password is now at risk too.
The solution: a password manager
A password manager stores all your passwords in an encrypted vault and fills them in when you log in. You only need to remember one master password.
Top picks: Bitwarden (free), 1Password or Dashlane. All three work across your phone, tablet and computer.
Best practices
Use a unique, randomly generated password for every account.
Turn on two-factor authentication wherever you can.
Never share passwords by email or text.
This is one of the simplest, most powerful things you can do to protect your digital life.
