yes its bad idea to use same password for everything

[376]

Yes. Actually, it is the worst idea ever. That's how i got hacked. I already count 3 email addresses that i lost control of and cannot recover, 7 accounts in social networking sites that i either lost or forced to shut down manually (after recovering possession of them), 2 MMO accounts that i lost for good (from university days) and leaked data to people i did not want. Keep your passwords complicated, change them every new month, and try to make them strong, by including one or more of these: Caps, lower case, numbers, other symbols (if they can be accepted), mix of letters and numbers that can be mistaken one for another (like O and 0) etc.

Also download an antimalware program and a potent antivirus. And you still are NOT 100% safe, but at least you tried a lot and blocked 8 out of 10 possible intruders!

easy to remember, but that's lack of safety
