Updated: 12/20/2018
- Most of us have dozens of online accounts, including accounts we use every day such as email, social networks and shopping sites as well as long-forgotten sites we've used exactly once. The vast majority of us either use weak passwords or reuse passwords on multiple accounts. This makes us more susceptible to crimes such as identity theft. Best practice dictates that you should use a different password for all of your online accounts, but remembering them all can be nearly impossible.
