Stumbled on a stat about reused passwords that blew my mind

I read this week that over 80% of data breaches are linked to weak or reused passwords... found it in a Verizon report from last year. Has anyone here actually switched to a password manager after seeing something like that?

Tbh that stat is terrifying but not shocking when you think about how many people use "password123" for their bank login. Switched to a manager last year after my email got popped and someone tried to buy crypto with my card. Never going back to memorizing 50 variations of my dog's name.
