Reasons to use a password manager (but not the one in your browser): 🔐 Data breaches happen daily.

When hackers buy stolen passwords on the dark web from one site breach, they try those username / password combinations everywhere else. They call it "Credential Stuffing". Because they know that your LinkedIn or Substack or Canva password isn’t just used for that one online account. You have very likely used that same password on eBay, or PayPal, or Amazon.

And those other accounts are very valuable to the hackers and cyber criminals (as they can access your credit or debit cards via them).

With a password manager, each online account can have a different long and strong password, because you don’t have to remember them all. The password manager does all the remembering for you.

And one data breach won't compromise your entire digital life.

Get yourself a password manager and STOP REUSING passwords now. ProtonPass and Bitwarden even have a free version you can use.
