Impacts of credential stuffing. Or why all your passwords should be different.

Using the same password is very convenient but comes at a high cost in security. For most people, this was not an issue until our lives become much more dependant on technology and the services that use it. Primarily this comes down to email. Email rules most of our interaction with automated services in every sense. When using a messaging or social network app the way you are identified is by email. Therefore it is essential to keep your email access safe and secure. Two-step authentication helps a great deal but also introduces more complexity and less convenience. Although we highly recommend using two-step authentication, it is only necessary because of password re-use. So our advice is to take the opportunity to create more layers of security by addressing both. Use a hard copy or password manager to make the task easier and certainly use unique passwords from this moment forward. We offer security awareness courses and technical support to help you get it done and make it easy to use.
