Switched to a password manager and my breach alerts dropped from like 10 a month to zero

I kept getting those 'your email was found in a data breach' warnings from Firefox Monitor, sometimes multiple a week. Started using Bitwarden about six months ago to make unique passwords for every site. Just checked my alert history and there hasn't been a single new one since February. Anyone else see a big drop after getting serious about unique passwords?

Nah, using a password manager definitely cuts out the main way people get into your accounts though.

Yeah, it's almost like using the same password everywhere was a bad idea. Who knew?

My Netflix got hacked last year.

Honestly, even with different passwords it happens. My buddy @murray.jana used a password manager and still had his bank account get weird charges. The real problem is these companies getting hacked in the first place, not just what we do.
