Sure they are different, but if somehow someone finds out just one password of yours, all others are broken too, right?
Right, there shouldn't be an easy to decipher password rule. Random passphrases seem to make the strongest passwords these days, especially if symbols, numbers, and spaces are allowed and used. Even the strongest password should have 2FA, and even that is only as strong as the identity verification of the password/2FA reset process.
Even rigid, known password rules are fine as long as there are enough possible combinations. xkcd.com/936/
Depends on the implementation of different login services and the number of possible permutations. An attacker will probably get locked out of trying to log in after making dozens of guesses.
You don’t partially decrypt passwords. You either get the full thing or you get gobble.
So if they get 1, they still don’t know you use or or etc. I wouldn’t just straight up say “Netflix” in my service tagging.
