Hit 500 compromised passwords in my personal leak check list today

I finally got around to checking all my old emails against haveibeenpwned and saw that number hit 500, which really drove home how many different services I've signed up for over 15 years and how many of them got breached, so has anyone else done a full audit and found a stupid high count?

True, @the_lucas but breached passwords still work if people never updated them.

and 500 is just the ones you know about too, right? bet there's a bunch of old forums or sketchy sites you forgot you even signed up for that got popped ages ago.

Most of those old sites held password hashes from 2010 anyway. Probably changed my passwords a dozen times since then. Real damage is pretty rare unless you reuse credentials everywhere.
