Use a computer
password in only one place! As annoying as it is to have to create new passwords
for all your different computer accounts and secure systems, reusing passwords
or using the same password all over the place is like carrying one key that
unlocks your house, your car, your office, your briefcase, and your safe
deposit box. If you
reuse passwords for more than one computer, account, website, or other secure
system, know that all of those systems will be only as secure as the least
secure system on which you used that password. One lost key could let a thief unlock all of your doors.
Also: don't enter your password on untrusted systems & change your
passwords on a schedule to keep them fresh. Source: SANS Institute
