One reused password can connect accounts that otherwise have little in common. A practical password routine gives each account its own strong credential, protects the place you store credentials, and includes a way to recover access. The method you use now helps identify the next useful improvement.

If a password has been exposed or an account is being used without your permission, act promptly through the provider's official app or known website. Change the affected password and any reused version, and follow account-recovery instructions if you are locked out. Do not wait to finish a general password cleanup before addressing an active problem.
