Two years of password reuse ended after a single breach alert

That breach notification from Have I Been Pwned was the push I needed. Now I rotate my critical accounts every 90 days and use 14 character passphrases instead of the old 8 character junk. Took me about 3 hours to update everything, but the peace of mind is worth it. Anyone else start with just their bank and email, then go all in?

Is rotating every 90 days actually making you safer, or just giving you a hobby? Most breaches come from phishing or malware, not old passwords sitting on a server. Realistically, a solid unique passphrase on your top 3 accounts gets you 90% of the benefit with none of the monthly headache.
