Password Reuse - Explanation & Prevention

 Password Reuse


Password reuse is not the same as password history. Reuse means using the same password for work and all your personal accounts. Your work account can be compromised if your password is compromised in the wild.

There are two ways to fix this issue. First, the company can create a Password Reuse Policy and have the employees sign it. The second and best method is to use MFA (Multifactor Authentication).

If the issue is discovered, the company should force password expiration and require employees to change their passwords immediately.
