Vent: That $40 password manager felt like a waste until my old email got hit

I bought a year of a password manager for about $40 last fall and honestly thought it was just extra work. Then a few weeks ago, I got a bunch of alerts about someone trying to log into an old Yahoo account I still used for some things. Because the manager had made a unique, strong password for it, they couldn't get in. It would have been a real mess if that old account was a gateway to other stuff. Has anyone else had a close call that made a basic tool suddenly worth it?

Seriously, how much damage could an old Yahoo account even do?

Wait, what if it's tied to your old bank alerts?
