Stressed entrepreneur surrounded by padlocks and outdated monitors, symbolizing password overload and digital security risks

(And What To Do About It)🚨

Spoiler alert: If you’ve ever reused the same password on more than one site, your business is probably at risk.

Over 71 million unique credentials were exposed in a recent leak dubbed Naz.API. It’s one of the largest breaches of all time—and it’s not just big corporations being targeted. Small business owners, consultants, and service providers are just as vulnerable (if not more) because hackers know you don’t always have enterprise-level security in place.

At CLN Agency, we help founders clean up messy ops. That includes your digital house, too. So let’s talk about:

💡 The Problem: Your Digital Skeletons Are Showing

  • Still using “Summer2023!” for your Gmail, Canva, and Stripe logins?
  • Using the same password across tools?
  • Managing your team’s logins via an insecure Google Doc?

It’s not a matter of if you’ll get hit. It’s a matter of when. And when it happens, it can shut down your operations overnight.

🛠️ The Fix: A Password Manager (Seriously, Just Use One)

Password managers are one of the easiest, most affordable ways to lock down your business. Here are our top picks:

1. LastPass

  • Stores unlimited passwords
  • Generates strong, unique logins
  • Shares passwords securely with your team
  • Offers business accounts with admin controls

2. 1Password

Whichever one you pick, just pick one and most importantly, commit.
