And also in this is that’s why you don’t use your train password for your bank account!
What Forest said is the real danger. Don’t use the same password or account name here as on your critical accounts. I would take that a step further and say don’t use the same pattern of password.
ie. Cheesburger123&*(
Cheesburger456&*(
Instead use a completely different style: ^#@5746346bjvjbibui
Not as easy to remember but it will keep the bk**** from easily getting into your other accounts.
Most thieves get your e-mail and work off of what they know to guess your password. Once they are in your e-mail they can see where you bank or make purchases. They can then request “Forgot User name” or “temporary password”. Even if you use different passwords on different accounts a pattern will help them guess more of your passwords.
Non-essential (sorry Bob) websites like LSC should be used with a disposable e-mail address that has no connection to your regular e-mail that you use for banking and other critical accounts.
