Password Managers are your friend.

Security through obscurity?

"I know this might sound funny, but what's an extra 1.5 billion passwords?” Daniel Card, a self-proclaimed Cyber Ninja Warrior and founder of the PwnDefend security consultancy, said.

He has a point: once such databases reach a tipping point regarding unique password size, it makes precious little difference how many new ones get added.

“When we look at how people create passwords,” Card said, “is that going to change the world? Probably not.

I don't think this changes the threat actors’ capability in any meaningful way.”
