i don't because i hate remembering 20 passwords
i hate it when i'm forced to make passwords based of my password due to requirements
so basically i'm gradeaundera

i only do different passwords for important things

I have different passwords for accounts with sensitive info, but for the most part I use one of three passwords because I started using them awhile ago and never chose just one.

I often do for more important things. Anything that is handling money, or e-mails, has a distinct password, that I avoid using elsewhere.

My other less important (although likely more used) accounts, tend to share a selection of possible passwords, with their own permutations.

But chances are, if one person could get into one of my accounts, they could probably get into most of them.

important things get their own password
toherwisehe no

If I deem it as unimprtant it has the same password as everywhere else

i get one password and run with it for years. just hope no one finds out and goes on a mass hacking spree.

I use like only 3-4 different passwords because if I dont then I end up forgetting them and then its a huge mess

i cycle between a few passwords, but stuff like my bank account password are unique.

I have unique passwords for this account, Steam, Google, and a few others. Otherwise, not really.

i think my one fifteen-digit password serves all my accounts just fine

I have different passwords for important things like my college account, emails, bank accounts, etc. Then use the same password for minor things like steam and twitter.

i think my one fifteen-digit password serves all my accounts just fine
Not really.
It's even worse if you happen to use the exact same e-mail and/or username for all your accounts.

If I had managed to find out your password, I could just google your username, and then log in on every page that I find a result for you on.

I think saying this on a public forum might not be the best idea
I mean chances are slim but still

I have like four different passwords which are assigned in tiers of importance

obviously my email and steam are high up because they control everything else

then smaller stuff have different universal passwords so I don't have to remember 20

Then I keep a side password for sketchy sites or places where I don't trust the security
