1. Data Breaches
Thousands of websites are hacked every year. For example, major breaches like those at LinkedIn and Adobe in 2023-2025 resulted in millions of passwords being leaked. If you use the same password on another website, a hacker can try it on other sites using a technique called "credential stuffing." This means that a breach on one site can compromise all of your accounts.

 

2. Hacking Tools Are Automated
Hackers use programs that automatically test leaked passwords on different websites. According to reports from cybersecurity companies, credential stuffing attacks are increasing by 20-30% every year. If your password is simple or repetitive, you become an easy target. In terms of password security, using different passwords reduces this risk.

 

3. Identity Theft and Financial Loss
The same password can lead to identity theft. A hacker can access your bank account, social networks, or even your work email. As a result, you can lose money, confidential information, or even damage your reputation. In Armenia, where online banking and e-commerce are growing, protecting your accounts is becoming more important.

 

4. Difficulty Managing Passwords
People often choose simple passwords like "123456" or "password" because they are easy to remember. However, such passwords become vulnerable when repeated.

 

If you want to avoid these risks, follow these password security tips.

Use Different Passwords. Create a unique password for each account with at least 12 characters, including letters, numbers, and symbols.
Use Password Managers. Apps like LastPass or Bitwarden can help you remember and generate strong passwords.
Turn on Two-Factor Authentication (2FA). This feature adds an extra layer of security by requiring a code via SMS or an app.
