Ek hi password har jagah use karna risky kyun hai?

Aaj ke digital world mein account banana bas ek click ka kaam hai. Lekin bahut log life easy banane ke chakkar mein har website par same password use karte hain. Spoiler alert: yeh bilkul safe nahi hai. Yeh habit aapki online presence ko danger mein daal deti hai. Password reuse sabse common security mistakes mein se ek hai, aur experts kehte hain ki isse bada nuksaan ho sakta hai. Chaliye samajhte hain kyun aapko yeh practice turant band kar deni chahiye.

Ek breach aur sab kuch khatam

Sochiye agar koi popular website hack ho jaaye aur millions login details leak ho jaayein. Agar aapne wahi password apne email, bank ya social media par bhi use kiya hai, toh hackers ke paas sabka access chala jaata hai.

Jaise 2013 mein Yahoo ka massive data breach hua tha, jahan se passwords leak hue aur baad mein unhi passwords se dusre accounts bhi hack kiye gaye. Agar har jagah same password hoga, toh ek leak pura digital life ko risk mein daal deta hai.

Credential stuffing attacks

Hackers sirf data chura kar nahi rukte, woh usse use bhi karte hain. “Credential stuffing” mein bots chori hue username-password combinations ko dusri websites par try karte hain.

Kyuki kaafi log same password use karte hain, success rate kaafi high hota hai. Cybersecurity reports ke mutabik 80% se zyada hacking-related breaches compromised credentials ki wajah se hote hain. Agar aap password reuse karte ho, toh aap basically hackers ko master key de rahe ho.

Recovery aur verification ka domino effect

Password bhoolna normal baat hai. Lekin agar aap har jagah same password use karte ho, toh ek account reset karte waqt dusre accounts bhi indirectly risk mein aa sakte hain—especially agar recovery email ya phone number bhi same hai.

Agar security questions bhi similar details par based hain, toh problem aur badh jaati hai. Ek jagah identity verify karte-karte aap unknowingly dusri jagah ka data expose kar sakte ho.

Phishing aur social engineering ka risk

Phishers ko bas ek mauka chahiye. Agar aap galti se kisi fake website par apna password daal dete ho, aur woh password har jagah same hai, toh attackers ke liye multiple accounts kholna bahut easy ho jaata hai.

Password reuse se careless habits bhi develop hoti hain—jaise password likh kar rakhna ya insecure jagah store karna—jo social engineering attacks ko aur asaan bana deta hai.

Long-term identity theft ka khatra

Same password use karna sirf immediate hack ka risk nahi hai, balki long-term identity theft ka bhi danger hai. Stolen credentials se fake accounts ban sakte hain, credit score damage ho sakta hai, ya aapke naam par illegal activities bhi ho sakti hain.

Studies ke hisaab se lagbhag 81% breaches weak ya reused passwords ki wajah se hote hain. Baad mein in sab cheezon ko fix karna time-consuming aur expensive ho sakta hai.

Professional impact bhi ho sakta hai

Office ya freelance work mein password reuse company policies ke against ho sakta hai. Agar personal account hack ho gaya aur uska effect work tools par pada, toh client trust damage ho sakta hai. Kuch cases mein job loss ya penalties bhi ho sakti hain.
