That’s an old one. There is a great website that has all the major hacked DB’s that made it to the dark web. Run by a former Microsoft guy. You can lookup your email and/or password and see if it was contained in one of those. That’s where the got the real pw from.

It’s not IF, it’s only a matter of WHEN your info gets hacked. Use different passwords, enter as little info as possible. Use your initials only.

I’d rather use my full name “Joe Biden.”

That looks like not much more than an ad for a password manager. The problem is that complex passwords don't help against most of the threats that they list on that site, namely websites and servers being hacked and passwords being intercepted as cleartext or stored in some encrypted form (instead of sallted hashes).
