Very frequently. Off the cuff, I'd estimate that 99% of not tech-savy users utilize the same password for everything, maybe with subtle variations according whatever service's requirements for a password.
Probably among tech savy people, the perecentage is lower, but still higher than it should be.
I myself, having been in IT for over 20 years, am guilty of this for non sensitive accounts. For significant accounts, they're randomly generated to the longest and highest degree a service allows. My gmail password, for instance is a 40 character random spread along their allowed characters. I cannot remember it.
- drewp 7y agoIt happens (a few times?) in this fun podcast: https://darknetdiaries.com/episode/45/ https://darknetdiaries.com/episode/45/ Admins at game companies used the same password for their remote access to their game company data as they did on some other compromised site, so attackers were able to easily break into the company.
