Beyond my accounts related to my important email addresses, Steam, finances and medical which can all be counted on one or two hands, I really couldn't give a damn about the other accounts or their password security.
Strong and unique passwords for the important accounts, simple and reused passwords for the rest. You're welcome to hack into my accounts on Hacker News, Reddit, Discord, LINE, various IRC networks, various forums, etc. I don't care; there's nothing important in there besides sentimental value.
- ccooffee 3y agoOn its own, the information in those private accounts is probably not interesting. I used to use the "few sites get a unique and secret password, but most reuse the same 10 character one" ruleset, but I became worried about how much data could be aggregated about me. By re-using the same password, I felt like I gave a simple test that attackers could use to definitively confirm "user XYZ on site ABC is the same as ccooffee". I'm now firmly in the "everything gets a unique password" camp. There are 4 important passwords I type myself, but everything else is in a password vault.
