That old IT guy told me to stop reusing passwords across accounts back in 2005 and I ignored him till I got hit

After losing access to 12 accounts because one forum got breached and they had my reused password, I finally switched to a password manager last month and now I wonder why it took me nearly 20 years to listen, has anyone else had that moment where one breach changed everything?

Brother, that exact thing happened to me six years ago and I still feel stupid about it.

Man, I get it. I still cringe thinking about my mistake from four years ago.
