I received a notification my first day using this laptop, that my login and password was compromised for one of my accounts that I logged into on Microsoft Edge. How is that possible? What can I do to protect this from happening again? null

The standard I was taught back in "the old days" was to create a passphrase that's easy to remember, but is hard to guess. For example, if I'd gotten a stuffed dog from my girlfriend, I might have chosen "ThestuffeddogIgotfrommygirlfriend". Although now, there are programs like LastPass that will create and store passwords for you with random numbers and letters. Thank you for asking the question!

Create a password that isn't commonly used or guessed by others with numbers, symbols, and letters.
