Why are you using the same password across the web in the first place. Worst case at least have a tiered system.
High - These are high security risk, such as email accounts, and anything that can gain access to or control something that relates to it (domain names, server access, stuff like that).
Medium - Passwords that give you access to very specific systems that if someone gained access would ruin your day but won't allow them to do anything really bad (personal home file server, the password to your FTP, web forums where you have a trust based relationship with people)
Low - If it gets hacked, who cares. Won't make a bit of difference (throwaway accounts on forums, news sites, stuff like that).
- atourgates 15y agoYou're absolutely right, but, like (I suspect) many people, I knew better, but hadn't taken the time to implement unique passwords before the Gawker security breach. It basically forced me to act - and now I'm better for it.
