Context
Password reuse is the leading cause of account compromise. When one site is breached, attackers try those credentials everywhere else. The RockYou2024 compilation contains 10 billion passwords—if you've reused a password, it's probably in there.
81% of breaches involve weak or reused passwords. Unique passwords eliminate credential stuffing risk.
