case 2

 problem:

I always use the same password for all my accounts and applications. I do not like to use complicated passwords because it is difficult to remember and too long. What do you think?.... 

Did you use the same password?

Using the same password for multiple accounts increases the risk of a data breach. If one account is hacked, all others with the same password become vulnerable. Having unique passwords for each account limits the damage if one gets compromised.

Reusing the same password for multiple accounts makes you vulnerable to cyber attacks such as credential stuffing.

Passwords are often your first line of defense when it comes to protecting your information from online threats, which is why you want to create one that is not only strong but unique. Using the same password across multiple accounts can lead to credential stuffing . Credential stuffing is when hackers use previously stolen login credentials  from one website and then “stuff” these credentials into other websites until they find matches. For example, imagine you used the same password for an online shopping account and your online bank account. If a cyber criminal got access to your shopping account where your payment information was saved, they’d be able to figure out which bank you use and have the login credentials they’d need to access it.

Using the same password leaves you and your information vulnerable to financial and identity theft , so it’s important to use a unique one for each of your accounts.
