My cousin in Boston called my old password 'a birthday present for hackers' and I finally switched to a passphrase.
He pointed out my 'DogName123' was in a leaked list from a 2022 breach, so now I use four random words like 'correct-horse-battery-staple' for everything important, but is there a better free app than KeePassXC to manage them all?

Totally get it, @angela191. I was the same until a leak scared me straight.

My old password was literally my dog's name and the year I got him, so your cousin would have had a field day. I've been using Bitwarden since my last password panic attack and it's been solid for keeping all those new passphrases straight.

Oh man I did the same thing with my cat's name and birth year until a data leak finally scared me straight too!
