In the past, whenever I wrote about security passwords, I would say something along the lines of "Use password managers, as they make it very easy to change passwords, which you should do frequently." Because that's the advice everyone gives about passwords, along with making them strong and unique to every service and account you create. Ultimately, the best advice for anyone dealing with password security is to use a password manager so you only have to remember one master password or phrase. Don't Lie: How Often Do You Change Passwords? The cynic in me thinks people believe they are supposed to change passwords often and don't want to admit to us (or themselves) that they don't.
