Why is it good to keep different passwords for online accounts?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A problem in one account affects other accounts less
If the same password is reused and an attacker learns it, several accounts can be opened. Different passwords limit the damage because a compromised password does not automatically unlock other accounts. The practice does not delete accounts, slow the computer, or control a printer.
