My friend in IT said my password habits are basically like leaving my front door unlocked

We were grabbing coffee yesterday and he casually mentioned that using the same password for my email, bank, and streaming service is a huge risk, especially after a breach at a major retailer last year. It made me realize I've been lazy about this for way too long. What's the easiest way to start using different, strong passwords without going crazy?

Honestly that's overblown, who has time to remember a million passwords? If your email is secure, the rest is fine.

Totally agree with that logic. Your email is the master key for everything else anyway. Once someone gets into that, they can reset all your other passwords in minutes.

Guess my password manager is just a fancy lock on a screen door then...
