In response to post #76171858. #76220643, #76222878, #76223958, #76228598, #76228903, #76427073 are all replies on the same post. Sorry for the lateness to this reply, but I totally agree with you. I have over 600 accounts that I own, each one used to have the same password. I was stupid and it took me about a month to change every single one of them to a unique, randomly generated password. I was smart enough not to use “Password” and “1234” as any of my passwords, except for the sites in which I could care less to get hacked which honestly to show how much I don’t care I would tell everyone which sites those were, but unfortunately I don’t remember either, lol. But in all seriousness, everyone should get in the habit of not only using a random password generator (which can be found in many apps like 1Password, Last Pass and evening Apple’s iCloud Keychain) but also setting up 2 factor authentication. As someone who is studying cyber security right now in college, I highly recommend doing the above. It’s better late then never, but in the world of cyber security you ALWAYS have to try to stay 2 or more steps ahead of the attacker, no matter the cost. So for now on, if you create a new account anywhere, try to make it unique with numbers, letters with lowercase and uppercase & symbols. Also, @austinichols: Many business who specialize in cyber security have this including Avast (Not sure about anyone else). You can also go to: https://haveibeenpwned.com/ to see if a email address of yours has been comprised, which site it was and when it was. Edit: I was replying to a reply within this thread and apparently it didn’t put this reply in the right one.
