Be honest — do you use the same password for more than one account?
Maybe it’s something simple you can remember. Maybe you think, “I’ll change it later.”
Here’s the problem: if a hacker gets hold of one password, they basically get a master key to everything else.
Imagine locking your house, car, and office with the exact same key. If someone copies it once, they own your whole life. That’s exactly how password reuse works online.
Here’s why it’s so risky:
Password leaks → When a website is hacked, stolen passwords often end up for sale. If yours is reused, they can try it everywhere.
Phishing & scams → Fall for one dodgy email and suddenly your email, bank, and socials are all wide open.
Weak links → Not all sites update their security. If the weakest one gets breached, the rest fall like dominoes.
Password guessing → Hackers use bots that can guess millions of passwords in seconds. If yours is reused, they only need to get lucky once.
Use a different, strong password for every account.
A password manager is your best friend — it remembers them all for you.
Add two-factor authentication (2FA) wherever you can for extra security.
Your digital life is too important to be protected by one word.
