Was this always happening in this big scope? Leaks of games, data that is stolen, all these breaches in big companies. Feels like I see this everyday

    Yes—it’s why you should use a password manager to generate a unique password for each and every site you sign up for, and think long and hard before trusting any site (or any org for that matter) with your personal information.

    Haveibeenpwned.com is a website for checking which sites have leaked your data.

      Make sure it’s an offline password manager. It’s a really bad idea to allow your password database to be stored on someone else’s server.

        LastPass had a breach recently too

        I think Bitwarden and Keypass are the good recommendations. Both can be kept local or selhosted.

        If you’re coming from LastPass and want something basically 1:1 similar (ex. Don’t want to set up local / self hosted), Bitwarden is an easy switch
