Your email address is your online identity. You wouldn't give your name and home address to just anyone. So, why would you give up your personal email address online? Most websites require you to enter an email address and password when you log in. Using the same email everywhere means that anybody who knows your email address knows half of the combination you use to unlock all your online accounts.
Many of our customers are already storing their unique passwords in a password manager and now it's easier than ever to store a unique email address too.
"We know empirically that data breaches happen many times every single day and the full extent of the problem is larger than anyone can quantify," said Troy Hunt, Strategic Advisor at 1Password and Founder of Have I Been Pwned. "My service is now tracking 5 billion email addresses with each one appearing in an average of 2 data breaches. It’s more important than ever that we protect our privacy, and protecting the primary key to our digital lives—our email address – will have a really positive impact."
