Question 24 • Personal Finance

An individual uses the same password for all accounts. What is the main risk?

Answer
A
Passwords become harder to remember
B
Password managers will fail
C
Accounts will lock automatically
D
All accounts could be accessed if one is breached

Explanation

Reusing one password means a person who obtains it from a breach of one account can try that same password on the individual’s other accounts. If it works, all of those accounts could be accessed. The main risk is therefore the possibility that all accounts are compromised after one password is exposed.
