Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -If you lose or change computers, it is possible for someone else to gain access to your passwords. Regularly updating your passwords means that even if someone finds an old or saved password, it will no longer be useful, and your data will be secure.

Detailed explanation-2: -The importance of password security The immediate benefit of good password security is obvious – it stops someone from accessing your accounts. In an effort not to get locked out of those accounts, many people only use one or two passwords across dozens of websites and apps.

Detailed explanation-3: -Simply put, if a hacker were to gain access to one of your accounts, they’d be able to gain access to all of them if you were using the same password. By creating passwords that are both strong and unique, you can make your accounts more secure.

Detailed explanation-4: -At least once every 60-90 days, if not more. Be sure you’re using tools like multi-factor authentication and a password manager to beef up your password security. Creating a secure password is the first step in taking control of your password security.

Detailed explanation-5: -Changing your passwords may not mitigate all the damage from malware or a successful phishing expedition. Still, it can keep future attackers or scammers from accessing your accounts or impersonating you further. Use a different device from the affected one to change your account password.
