If you’ve looked through this list and are distraught that you have a terrible password, the fix is easy.  Change your password immediately to something more secure.  I’ve talked extensively about the anatomy of a secure password here, so I won’t discuss that in depth in this post.

If you’re tired of managing passwords for the 1 million accounts you have in your life, it might be time to consider a password manager such as LastPass.  This allows you to stay secure and simplifies your life by making it so you don’t have to remember all those passwords.

There are other things you can do as well.  Setting up 2 factor authentication on your accounts where possible is a good idea.  Its much more secure and can be simply done by using an authenticator app on your phone in many cases.  I’ve talked about that in depth here.
