Almost every day, we create accounts on websites: loyalty programs, banks (credit cards), online shopping, government sites, etc.<\/p>\n

And of course, we try to simplify our lives by using the same password every time. But what happens when one of these sites becomes the target of hackers? Our email address and this famous password are found on the web. Almost anyone is free to test this combination on many sites such as Aeroplan, Marriott Bonvoy or a banking institution.<\/p>\n

It’s simple: by testing my different email addresses on the Have I Been Pwned<\/a> site, I was able to see that more than 25 sites had been hacked (such as Canva, Dropbox, Adobe, Bitly, LinkedIn or Houzz) and that contained my credentials, now in the wild.<\/p>\n

Of course, some safeguards have been put in place by major sites such as double authentication (most often with your phone number). But this double authentication can often be bypassed, especially if the person has had access to your mailbox.<\/p>\n

This happened to me recently with the use of one of my – many – rewards program accounts. The person used more than 100,000 points for an airline reservation.<\/p>\n

I quickly realized this having received an email to change my password. I contacted the rewards program in question and they cancelled the reservation and credited the points back to me.<\/p>\n

And this is happening more and more frequently, as evidenced by this message from Elie left in the Milesopedia Community<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Browsers like Chrome, Firefox or Safari now allow you to create and manage very secure passwords. But for family use – or when connecting from one computer to another – these solutions are not practical.<\/p>\n

So I looked for a reliable tool that would allow me to secure my digital life and above all to simplify all this management. And after various trials with Bitwarden and Lastpass, I now use 1Password<\/strong> in its family version<\/a>, which has the advantage of being an easy-to-access solution from a Canadian company<\/strong>, founded in 2005.<\/p>\n
