This literally is saying that if someone compromises one of the passwords you use for all the important stuff like banking, they've literally just gained access to every important account you have which can be life changing in a very bad way.
Props on using four passwords instead of just one, though.

- bigDinosaur 4y agoStill a bad idea, you're leaking information for social engineering attacks either against you or the company holding your account. Anyway your 2FA is acting to make your passwords actually unique, in a sense, I suppose. Not that I'd necessarily trust it on its own.
- pif 4y agoThe worst information leaks are passwords written on a post-it, and they are usually the outcome of obnoxious safety rules.
