What is the danger of using the same password for email, cloud storage, and payment account?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A problem in one account can affect many accounts
Reusing one password creates a chain reaction. If a website is breached, or the password is guessed, phished, or exposed, an attacker can try it on the email, cloud, and payment accounts as well. Use a different strong password for every important account and consider a password manager and multi-factor authentication. The other options are unrelated.
