So let's say your password on Town of Salem was "password1". The hackers already know your email. Now they're going to try your email everywhere using "password1". With each account they get into, they can get more info [maybe you've shared your address and real birthday in one of these accounts!] and if you have funds in those accounts? Those funds might not be there for long. I see.

I presume password reset codes would not give any clues to other account logins. Unless, of course, the hackers are able to see full records of password changes.

Albeit I have already changed most account passwords for New Years since I’m paranoid.

And why the hell do people share birthdays/addresses¿ hAvE u EvER wAtCHed CYbeR SAm’S ultrA CyBersAfEtY tV ShOW lMaO Xd
