*With over a million words scattered across more than 1,300 articles on this blog, you've probably missed a few things here.*

*That’s why each week in "Throwback Thursday," we’ll revisit some standout posts. Expect a blend of my personal favorites, insightful articles from other great minds, and a touch of coding humor to keep things light.*

Hopefully, I'm preaching to the choir with today's edition of Throwback Thursday.

This one is all about the dangers of password re-use (the xkcd comic at the bottom is one of my all-time favorites). My two articles at the top are a couple of tools to help you avoid the siren song of re-using passwords. Wisdom from around the web includes an article with some eye-popping statistics from the average computer user (none of us, right?). 

And if you think you're safe from these dangers, go ahead and throw your email address into the search box at [HaveIBeenPwned.com](https://haveibeenpwned.com/) and prepare to be horrified.
