Troy Hunt, who runs Have I Been Pwned, a breach repository, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.troyhunt.com\/inside-the-synthient-threat-data\/\">analyzed the data<\/a> and found that \u201conly\u201d 8% of the passwords \u2014 about 14 million \u2014 are new.

For this situation, mostly these two:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Use a password manager. It makes easy creating and retrieving strong, unique passwords for each service.<\/li>\n<li>Enable two\u2011factor authentication (or two\u2011step verification). It can be integrated with the very same password manager for easier adoption. In a breach, the second factor blocks unauthorized access even if someone has your password.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>You can check whether your passwords have leaked by entering your email at <a href=\"https:\/\/haveibeenpwned.com\">Have I Been Pwned<\/a>.
