I just read that most people reuse the same password across 14 different sites
Found that stat in a report from a security company called Kaspersky. It blew my mind because I know I'm guilty of that too, maybe not 14, but definitely a few. I found it while looking up info after my cousin had a Netflix account hacked last month. How do you guys actually keep track of all your different passwords?

How many of us are in the same boat with password reuse?

Oh man, @mark_ward, that hits home. I know I should use a different password for everything, but it's just so hard to remember them all. Feels like you need a secret code just to check your email sometimes. I bet most people do the same thing because it's easier, even if we know it's risky. What do you do to try and keep track of yours?

Honestly, get a password manager. It sounds like a hassle but it's a game changer. I use one and it creates and stores crazy strong passwords for every site. You only need to remember the one master password. Before that, I was using slight variations on the same base password, which is basically the same as reusing it.
