Infosec quotes - internal password re-use

I think password re-use risks also apply to internal devices at companies too. If you set multiple servers, databases, devices , service accounts, etc to different accounts but the same password then you're simplifying the attackers life by making it trivial for them to laterally move across your network. Take that extra step and create unique passwords.

“... once fraudsters have managed to guess one password, they’ll have access to your entire online life...”
