Good thing I don't use ANY of those services and never have. Except MySpace 15 years ago but didn't put personal stuff on it.

Anything on the internet should be considered public.

I use different passwords for each site so they can't login to anything else of mine with a leaked password.

Never heard of that one. I use KeePass which is a program you can download on your computer and phone / tablet. It stores all your passwords in an encrypted database that you store on your devices, it doesn't connect to the internet in any way so it can't be hacked.

I use that one too but it is a bit hard for the computer illiterate. Bitwarden is good for family who aren't savvy.
