Why is it better to use different strong passwords for different accounts?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Other accounts are less affected if one account has a problem
If the same password is reused and one service is breached, criminals may try that password on other accounts. Different strong passwords limit the damage to the affected account and reduce account takeover risk. A password manager can help remember unique passwords. The other options are unrelated effects and are not security benefits.
