Different email and password with 2FA for every account. Only save them on paper or password book, never on your phone or internet password organizer. Nor take a picture of them.
That's a very secure approach to managing passwords and accounts. Keeping different email addresses, passwords, and using two-factor authentication (2FA) for each account adds layers of security against potential breaches. Storing them offline in a password book or on paper reduces the risk of digital theft. It's a smart way to protect sensitive information and maintain control over your digital security. If you have any more tips or practices for ensuring online security, feel free to share!
NEVER NEVER NEVER use the same password for valuable accounts. If the hacking algorithms figure out one password, they will know them all. Most scamming is done not with humans, but with machines, that can run thousands of password attempts a second. Write on paper the ones for the bank, investments, medical, etc, and do not put the paper in purse or wallet, but someplace accessible but not right next to the computer.
I cannot believe she said to reuse the same password. This is like security 101. Many companies have security breaches. It happens all the time and your password for any given account WILL end up on the dark web at some point and not just once. This will happen more than once. If you have used that same password for other accounts they will take everything and clean you out. They will have access to everything. Always use a very different and distinct password for each account. It's better to just keep them written in a password book if you are worried about remembering or there are secure services to help you login to them without remembering them all but do not EVER reuse a password.
I believe that this RUclipsr is sincerely well intentioned. And as a well intentioned person who wants to help protect vulnerable seniors, the most responsible thing she can do is to delete this video. As multiple people have pointed out,the advice to reuse the same password is not only wrong, but puts people at serious risk of severe financial damage. PLEASE speak to a knowledgeable security professional, take down this video,and create a new one which advised people to NOT reuse passwords for critical accounts.

Agree!
I get mad when I have to use a password. And they keep making you go to your enail to enter a passcode. I want less security.

Credit? What about people who don't give a $..@ about credit nor buy anything on credit?
