Password security warning with digital lock and breach alerts

7 Password Mistakes That Put Your Data at Risk

One password reused across multiple apps

Reusing passwords puts all accounts at risk

This is one of the most dangerous habits. If a single website gets breached—and it will eventually—all your linked accounts are compromised. It’s called a “credential stuffing” attack, and it happens every second.

Imagine: a Netflix breach gives someone access to your email, which then resets your bank password. Scary, right?

Fix: Treat each account like a different lock. Use unique passwords for every login. Again, a password manager like Bitwarden or 1Password makes this manageable.
