Surprised by a stat I found on credential stuffing attacks
I was reading through some security reports and came across a stat from Akamai that says 1 in 3 login attempts on retail sites last year were credential stuffing attacks. That seems crazy high to me. On one hand, it shows how important MFA is, but on the other hand, is it really practical for every site to enforce it? Curious if anyone here actually uses a different password for every single account or just relies on a password manager to catch the weak spots.

Do people actually remember 47 different passwords or just use "password123"?

You ever feel like that's just a joke until you actually have to reset your password for the 10th time in a month... @the_jake really had me thinking about it. I used to laugh off remembering passwords but then tried a manager and it changed my whole approach.
