A distinct password for every account reduces the reach of a single compromised credential.
Make uniqueness manageable
Use a password manager to generate and store passwords. Secure the manager itself and understand its recovery options.
Review authentication choices
Use stronger authentication methods when supported. Do not approve an unexpected login request.
Sources & context
General security sources do not verify a named operator.
