Why it helps
Reusing a password means one leak can open several accounts. A long unique password for each important account limits the damage.
How to do it
- Pick an account that shares a password with another.
- Create a new long passphrase or use a password manager.
- Save it securely and log in once to confirm it works.
Make it easier
Just list which accounts share passwords.
Make it harder
Turn on two-step verification for the same account.
Never share passwords by email or message.
