The moment I realized I was using the same password for everything

I was sitting at a coffee shop in Portland last Tuesday, checking my email on their free WiFi. Then I got a notification that someone logged into my bank account from a device in China. I froze because I used the same password for that bank, my email, and like 10 other sites. That's when it hit me that I had been doing this wrong for years and never thought twice about it. Has anyone else had that sudden wake-up call where you realize how lazy you've been with passwords?

Same here. I used to think it was fine til my Netflix got hacked.

3 million people lost their accounts in that one breach last year.
