    I keep thinking of the people who make their passwords garbled random text impossible to memorize but then they trust an online service to keep it safe and private. When breaches happen, maybe even a post-it note at home would have been more secure.

        Unique passwords for every single account is an over-abundance of caution. Sensitive accounts: financials, medical, email, yes those should all be insulated from single-source failures. Your xbox live, netflix, and instagram are probably fine as a universal “entertainment” password.
