You need accounts for every website you visit.

From shopping online to banking, reading the news to playing games, joining a discussion forum to viewing the day’s astrological prediction: you need to create multiple accounts to browse through the sea of information the internet houses.

With so many passwords to remember, most people do two things:

• Use simple, easily guessable passwords (like password_amazon, password_uber, etc.) or
• Reuse the same password for multiple accounts.

Both practices pose the threat that if one password is compromised, all of your accounts would be at risk.

But how common are security breaches?

If you think security breaches are uncommon, you’ll be shocked to know that big companies like Yahoo, Facebook, Marriott, etc. have had their data breached.

If you’ve made an account on these, someone on the internet might have access to your login credentials.

When should I be worried my password has been breached?
