We beg, implore and beseech thee. Stop reusing the same damn password everywhere

Let's not forget that half the problem isn't reuse of passwords, it's reuse of user IDs. That's because so many sites want an email address as an ID - and perhaps reinforce that by sending an email to confirm and most people only have one email address. It doesn't matter so much if your password's Pa$$word when you user ID's UsSnkbi32tGdxTFP or '@"p3a@}%3e%Ngud
