Passwords: All EGGS in the same basket
___________________________________________________________________________________________

If it seems to good to be true then it usually is!  Do not put all your eggs in same basket!

Two simple statements that ring out so true for every online password storage website there is.  Use them and eventually they will be hacked.

Lastpass hacked just last month:

Our personal data mishandled by our government again

Poor Suella Braverman was caught using gmail for UK government communications late last year:

never mind she is now back as Home Secretary.  Does this mean we can all abuse UK data?  No.

This shows our government has little respect for our personal data which they are continually mishandling, it should not leave the EEA, so should not be sent/used in the USA, without consent from the owners of that data:
