Staying safe online is important. But a lot of us are making mistakes with the passwords we use for our different accounts.

Password manager company Bitwarden found that a quarter of people use the same password for at least 11 sites or apps. And more than one-third of us use personal information in our passwords.

Personal information isn't a good idea to use, because it's quite easy for others to find it out.

But here's something else that isn't a good idea: using the name of your favorite celebrity, band, singer or superhero!

A company called Mailsuite has been looking at the most dangerous pop culture passwords you can use online.

Mailsuite made a list of more than 2,600 pop culture terms and almost 64,000 different ways of writing them.

It then looked at something called the Pwned Passwords database, which gives information about hundreds of millions of passwords that have been exposed in online data breaches.

The pop culture password that came up most was "Superman." It appeared in almost 585,000 data breaches.

In second place was the US band Blink-182. Used as a password, it appeared in more than 482,000 data breaches.

"Batman," "Star Wars" and "Eminem" were also in the top five.

Bitwarden says you should choose a long password that includes letters, numbers and symbols.

You should also have a different password for each app you use. Sites like Bitwarden also let you check how strong a password is before you choose it.

Are you focusing all your energy on mastering conversational fluency while leaving grammar or writing in the dust? Sure, it’s tempting to specialize, but here’s the hard truth: putting all your focus on just one element of language learning is risky. Imagine dedicating all your time to conversation, only to wake up one day and realize you’re bored with it. Where does that leave your progress? It’s like betting all your money on one volatile stock—it might pay off, but it’s just as likely to lead to burnout. Research shows that our brains crave variety to stay sharp and engaged (Goldberg, 2001). So why risk stagnation when you can diversify your skills?
