Is there a way for me to change passwords on several sites at once? - Davidy - 11-09-2012 07:46 PM

For example, you have a Facebook, Twitter and Youtube account and they all share the same password. Is there a program or web service that changes all of these passwords with just a few clicks?

No way. You have to do them individually.

Fortunately (or unfortunately, depending on how you look at it)

You need to do each individually.

This is because each site has their own system in place, if one single place had access to all your passwords, there would be security & privacy concerns.

This is actually a larger problem than it appears, as many of the software packages running on a given host will have their own distinct user management systems, forcing customers to login several times.
