With major hacks and data breaches happening almost daily, protecting your online accounts and passwords is as important as ever. You should use strong, unique passwords for each online account you operate and use on a password management app to keep track of them all. You should occasionally change passwords, especially those you share with others — like Netflix — and make sure you don’t recycle any. It's also important to use services like HaveIBeenPwned.com (HIBP) and Google Chrome’s password manager to see if your accounts were hacked any time a company announces a new data breach, and then change that password to something more secure.
HIBP’s creator Troy Hunt has just announced two major updates for the service, including a partnership that should help secure your online accounts. HIBP has partnered with the FBI, which means the bureau will feed data from breaches into the service, increasing the amount of data available for anyone to check online.
