I just hit 100 unique passwords in my manager and it's a weird feeling
I always thought reusing a few strong ones was fine until I saw my old email in a breach list on Have I Been Pwned. That was for a site I hadn't used in years, but the password was one of my main ones. Now I use Bitwarden and seeing that triple-digit count made me realize how many accounts I had that were at risk. How do you even start cleaning up old accounts you don't use anymore?

Remember that old "forgot password" flow that makes you answer security questions? I tried that on a dead account and couldn't remember my own first pet's name, so I guess that account is just out there haunting the internet now. Honestly, I started by making a list of every account I could remember, then spent a whole weekend just trying to log in to see if they still existed. For the ones I could get into, I changed the password to a new random one from my manager before closing them, which felt pretty good.
