No, but they should use the same password everywhere
Yes, but only for admin accounts
Yes, it prevents long-term breaches
No, frequent changes often lead to weaker passwords without improving security
Question 7: What high-leverage behavior should a user adopt if login attempts are repeatedly failing due to suspicious activity locks?
Use a different device immediately
Contact support with verification details rather than bypassing the lock
Delete the account and recreate it
Try guessing the password variations

Always verify the source independently before providing credentials
Share recovery options with colleagues
Rely solely on application notifications
