So sorry I don’t understand your question, schemes? Reuses schemes?
Generally speaking it’s always a good idea rotate passwords/secrets if any form of compromise is suspected . It’s just good practice, imo.
Yes CC info doe leak often, easier remedied with a cancellation, les so with SSN. We should not be using that for ID purposes in the first place and I hope we stop that practice.
I think they meant when users have dumb patterns for their passwords like if your lemmy pwd was
Evok3lemmy!
and your reddit password wasEvok3reddit!
, etc.Thx for stating your opinion. Sorry for being unclear. reuse = use same passwords in different accounts; schemes = password patterns with some reused portions.
I understand entirely now what you meant, the phrase I haven’t heard before!
In that case though, I’d say, with schemes yes definitely, as you’re more at a disadvantage because you follow a pattern, vs not doing so and having a unique password ( and ideally a unique username/ email for every account! Use a email forwarding service like simple login!)
