One of the first things you should do after a breakup is change your passwords! We know getting over the heartbreak is tough, but a new study has found that 23% of folks are still logged into ex's personal accounts!

And chances are, your ex will continue to log into your accounts long after you breakup!


According to Fox News, 26% of people are still logged into an ex's game streaming service or online news subscription, 25% are still logged into an ex's photo sharing program or some service with location sharing, 23% are still logged into an ex's online calendar, social media, ride sharing services, music streaming services, and video streaming services, and 20% are even still logged into their ex's email!

Sean O'Brien, who is the the principal researcher at the ExpressVPN Digital Security Lab, said, "The sheer number of people who continue to track their ex post-breakup was one of our survey's most surprising findings," he added. "At worst, it's a slippery slope to allowing controlling behavior that can put you at risk, especially if the breakup wasn't on good terms."

So be sure to change those passwords!
