Why would i care if someone logs into most of them. What are they going to do watch a movie on my Netflix account, play my kids roblox games, or change my crew on my Rockstar account?

This will in turn flag your account for fraud. You might not want that.

Idk man. I just don't think it's a big deal for me. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] Ghoelian@piefed.social 2 points 10 hours ago What? Yeah of course there are no charges against you, you are the victim in this situation. I misunderstood what this thread was about, I thought it was about someone stealing your credit card information from your Netflix account. permalink fedilink source parent [–] TheNamlessGuy@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago They log into your netflix account, change email and password, and sell the account with your card still linked. Netflix support right out refuses to remove the card, or reimburse you for the remainder of the period you've paid for. I had to block netflix from my bank overall. I guess they don't want customers. (This was all right before they implemented 2FA) permalink fedilink source parent [–] kungen@feddit.nu 2 points 14 hours ago Well yeah, Netflix knows it's super annoying when your watch history gets messed up. This is the real reason why Netflix (and all the other tech companies) are suddenly pushing so hard for passkeys... it has nothing to do with how much control and influence it'll give them ;-) permalink fedilink source parent [–] halcyoncmdr@piefed.social 2 points 15 hours ago It's not about a specific account, it's about compromising your info. The info one company considers enough to verify you when you call or chat with customer service, another company will give out freely. They can then hop and skip through those to get access to one of your accounts they actually want. Your entire online security is only as secure as your most insecure account. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Axolotl_cpp@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 point 11 hours ago* (1 child) Tell me that at least you use different email and password for every account because if not, then you just get screwed when they hack one account, also, if any of your social accounts gets hacked, it will for sure be used to scam or hack other people. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] Danquebec@sh.itjust.works 2 points 7 hours ago* I use the same password where it doesn't matter at all. I use different passwords where it matters or where my usual password doesn't work or was required to be changed. There are 3 things where I don't even save the password in a password manager. It stays in my wet memory. They are: Places where I store and move money. My email account. My password manager (duh). permalink fedilink source parent
