Forgetting passwords is better than using the same password for all!

Passwords are the key to your digital treasure. You literally sweat when you try to set a strong password by satisfying all the criteria. Most hated statement “Password must have minimum 1 upper-case character, 1 lower-case character, 1 number and 1 symbol“.

You will have to carry that stupid password in teeny-tiny hippocampus of your brain. By fearing that you will forget it you commit a blunder i.e “I will use the same password for all my accounts, I will keep using it many times a day so that I will never forget it.”

What I am trying to convey in this post is just a simple thing. Don’t fear that you will forget the password. It is fine. You can recover it. Forgetting passwords is not a crime. Let me prove why it is better than using the same passwords for all your accounts.

Let us keep it short by explaining my theory with valid reasons via below points:

• It is a crime according to me to keep the same password for all your accounts. Because if one account gets compromised , all the accounts will be in danger and you have to change all the passwords again.
• It is recommended to keep changing your password every 3 months. If you forget it. Recover it using many other methods like OTP generation, getting reset link to your gmail. But the main aim should be password staying a secret.
• Your password should never be based on your username or e-mail id.
• When you forget your password, you in-directly make your account more secure and strong because you get a chance to “_{take security checks, routine maintenance and even logging out of all the devices at once and ask for new password}“.
• If you lazily set the same password for all accounts you will never change it because you never forget it. Due to that the device in recent photocopy shop you had visited has your account signed in because you had no idea had forgot to sign out. Now did you get it? How healthy practice is forgetting passwords;)
• I’m not forcing you to forget passwords. I’m just saying set a difficult and unique password to each of your accounts and if you forget them reset them without thinking too much.
• Online platforms and Social media giants have realized that how common it is to forget a password. So they have provided 3-4 ways in which you can set a new password/Reset it. Don’t hate yourself.

That’s it. Next time when you forget a password. Happily reset it. Thank you.
