Yeah, I definitely reuse passwords for things, and not always strong ones. I do have a certain nihilistic resignation about the whole thing: sure, I can turn on two factor auth with a different automatically generated GUID password I keep in a password manager, but anyone can open up a line of credit anywhere in the country under my name if they know one 9 digit number that isn't really secret and can never be changed.
What's the point?
- raesene9 10y agoFor me the point lies in avoiding the hassle of getting a notification from haveibeenpwned.com that one of my accounts has been compromised and having to worry where else I used that username/password combo. That's why I user a password safe so that when that happens (at least 4 times to date), I can just shrug my shoulders and move on, resetting just that one password if I still use the site.
