OPINION: It's been reported that one-in-four people use weak passwords like "Abc123, Password1111, and P@ssw0rd". And those of us that do use stronger passwords are likely to be guilty of using the same "strong" password across multiple sites. Which is almost as bad as having a weak password as data breaches publicly expose millions of usernames and passwords every day. This means stolen usernames/emails and passwords from one website can be used to gain access to other sites that haven't been breached. If you discover that one of your passwords has been breached, you need to login and change that password (on every site you use it) as soon as possible.
