Are you using the same password for different account? Then consider this.

Are you the one finds it easier to keep the same passwords for all your online accounts? Do you have the same password for your bank and important accounts? If so, its time you gotten wiser than sorry. It's not unknown now that the weak passwords can be deciphered quite easily and so are the same/ similar passwords that you tend to use for many accounts.

Hackers are trained professionals whose credibility is more than you can think of. If a hacker manages to guess or steal one of your passwords, he could get access to many of your accounts.  He could test your password at different sites, hoping that you use the same password for many or all of the different accounts you have set up.  This is much easier to do than you might think.

You are probably much more careful with your PayPal and bank passwords than you are with say your email and social networking passwords.  But, even if you are equally careful with all passwords, a site that suffers a data breach might accidentally leak one of your passwords.   So if you use the same password across many sites, you are putting yourself at unnecessary risk.

Hackers test minor variations of stolen passwords, too. Don’t forget that most hackers are good programmers, and they can easily write computer programs that try large numbers of minor variations of a password – automatically. So just adding different digits to a core password is not enough.
