What is the danger of using the same password for email, cloud storage, and a payment account?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A problem in one account can affect several accounts
Reusing one password creates a chain of risk. If an attacker learns that password through a data breach, phishing message, or another compromised service, the attacker may try it on the email, cloud, and payment accounts. One exposed password can therefore put several accounts and types of information at risk. Different strong passwords, preferably managed safely, reduce this spread of harm.
