Scammers Can Try to Access Your Other Accounts

Once someone has access to your email address, it becomes much easier to try to access any other online platforms and services you’ve signed up for. 

If you use the same email address for all your accounts, hackers can try to crack your passwords for other platforms, which is even easier if you’re also using the same password in more than one place. 

Imagine someone having access to all your social media, your bank accounts, and other sensitive accounts you don’t want people to know about. Once a bad actor has your email address, they’ve already made it halfway to getting into everything else.
