I finally started using a password manager after my old system failed me
For years, I just used one strong password and changed a number or letter for each site, thinking it was safe enough. That all changed about six months ago when my email got hit with a credential stuffing attack, and I realized how easy it was for someone to guess my pattern. I switched to Bitwarden, which is free, and now I let it create and store totally random, long passwords for every single account. The best part is I only have to remember one master password, and it auto-fills everything on my phone and laptop. It felt weird at first to trust an app with all that, but after reading up on how they encrypt the data, I feel way better. I even used it to find and update a bunch of old, weak passwords I'd forgotten about. Has anyone else made this switch and found a specific feature they really like?
