A guy at the coffee shop in Boise told me his 'password123' got his email hacked

He said it happened after he used the same password on a forum that got breached... what's the simplest way you explain to people why that's a bad idea?

Using one password everywhere is like using one key for your house, car, and bank.

My old roommate used the same password for his email, his wifi, and even his online banking. I mean, it was literally just his dog's name and the year he was born. One time his email got hacked and they drained his checking account because he used that same password for his bank login too. It took him six months to get the money back from the bank. I could never sleep at night doing that.
