If the same password is used for many accounts, what risk increases?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A problem in one account can put many accounts at risk
Reusing one password creates a chain of risk. If that password is guessed, stolen, or exposed in a data breach from one service, an attacker may try it on the person’s other accounts. Using a different strong password for each account limits the damage. A repeated password does not make accounts safer, and it cannot turn off a mouse or renew a printer.
