discuss Do you make use of the same password?

[Ja sa bong]

I know for a fact some people make use of the same password across all website they are using. This is not a good practice because if the password gets leaked, all of the account which it's used are going to be comprised.

Do you make use of the same password or are those your passwords strong and unique?

I don't have the strength to be cramming passwords for different sites on my head. I use one password for all my online activity. But that password is very unique and secure. No one can guess it.

I used to use the same password, especially for random sites, but these days I use different password, I mostly use generated password.

I change my password at 3 moths interval. It is crucial if retain the same. My password was once hacked, so I learned a lesson.

I do it on less secure sites. About 2 months ago, I was informed (by Google Chrome) that the password used was identified in a breach. I've since changed the passwords, but all to the same again. It just makes it easier to get in for me and isn't that big of a deal if they are compromised.

It is essential for us to change our passwords to avoid problems. My password on Facebook was hacked but Facebook Meta helped me restored my account.

Before, I used to repeat the same password across many online accounts before learning about security risks. Now, I use a password management solution which allows me to use different powerful individual passwords for all my platform accounts.

I had the same experience last weekend when I was checking my Gmail account security. I saw the notification my password was found be used in multiple websites. I had to change it immediately.

Yeah, for email, this is probably best.

But for sites that don't have any associated billing, etc., or are only an account to view content, I don't mind keeping the same password, once changed, of course.

They only forums where I'm very careful with how I choose the passwords to work with are forums where I have some sort of earnings from which I wouldn't want to be comprised. For example, when I used paid to post forums, I used a very sophisticated and unique passwords.

I used to use the same password 10 years ago, but I no longer do.

Now, I make sure all my passwords are different, unique and secured.

I believe that you're making use of a password manager in order to keep track and record of all your different unique passwords? I'm not sure if it's possible to remember all of them off heart.

I used to be really lax on my internet security and use the same password for almost everything. Nowadays, I use strong, custom passwords for important things (like financial stuff and my emails) and then use randomly generated passwords stored in the browser (Chrome) for mostly everything else. Might not be the most secure of options, but for day-to-day browsing and considering I generally know how to keep my PC safe, it works for me.

Yes, of course lol. I can only remember some of my passwords, but not all of them.

 

[Apsara]

No, I don't. I always use new password.

 

[Heatman]

Yes, of course lol. I can only remember some of my passwords, but not all of them.

My first ever password which is 16 digit long, I can still remember it like it's put up in my face all the time. It's my Facebook password . The other ones, they are all in my password manager.

There is an advantage to having one password across many all the numerous websites that a person uses. The challenge though is that when one gets to know about such password or it is mistakenly leaked, the person would have access to every of your platforms and websites. That could be really dangerous.

 

[Shortie]

I will admit, I have on some occasions made use of the same password for different websites and services, but I do tend to change them a little so they are not all the same throughout every.

I remember my grandma; she used to use a different password for all her accounts, and she would keep them written down on a notepad on her desk. Nowadays, we have password managers built into web browsers that help a lot in keeping passwords more secure.

 

[Zani]

Well, there are cases where I have made use of same passwords for most accounts. That has made it possible for me not to forget my passwords no matter what the situation is at that particular moment. The risk is that if anyone gets to hack your devices, they can be able to make away with a lot of your money at the end of the day.

 

[MamaFrankie]

I used to but since being informed of the risks, I don't. My passwords are really obscure and unguessable.

 

[Kross]

I know that I have the same passwords on about 10 platforms that I am on. I really feel lazy to create new passwords every time I sign up to a platform. At that point, I just use my most popular password that I have been using. Because of that, I really try to curtail the level of access that people have to my devices.

It is not a good idea to use the same password on every platform nor website. You should have a unique one per website. That's the best thing to do in this day and age. Sure, you can remember them if they're the same, but it's better to be secured and safe.
