Cyber-Bob’s Daily Cyber Safety Tip — #107
“Passwords Shouldn’t Be Reused… Even If You Really Like Them.”
Cyber-Bob knows the struggle:
Remembering passwords sometimes feels like juggling bowling balls while riding a unicycle — doable, but not recommended for seniors or anyone with a good sense of self-preservation. 😄
But here’s the truth:
Reusing the same password everywhere is like using one key for:
🔑 your house
🔑 your car
🔑 your shed
🔑 your bank
🔑 your email
🔑 and your secret stash of chocolate
If a scammer copies that one key…
they now own everything.
🔹 Today’s Tip
If a website needs a password, it deserves its own.
No exceptions.
No excuses.
No “But it’s easier this waaaay…”
Cyber-Bob isn’t buying it. 😉
🔹 Make Life Easier: Use a Password Manager
A good password manager:
✅ remembers everything
✅ creates strong passwords automatically
✅ keeps them safe
✅ saves your brain cells for more important things, like remembering where you left your glasses
🔹 Bonus Senior-Friendly Trick
Use long, silly phrases that are both strong and memorable.
Examples:
🔸 MyKneesHateStairs2025!
🔸 ILoveMyCoffeeExtraStrong!
🔸 GrandkidsAreFasterThanMe!
If it makes you smile, you’ll remember it.
Cyber-Bob’s Motto
“If one password unlocks your whole life, it’s time to change the locks.”
