Oh yeah, this is a great idea. (tic) Let's tell the computer inept to not change their passwords. Crackers around the world rejoice.
Now, once you break into the person's PC and steal their password, you can come back in a month and access their accounts without having to crack anything. Because their passwords will be the same! Not to mention the same password for every blasted thing they use.
"I don't know why $1,000.00 is being transferred out of my account every month. I had malware removed from my PC over 2 months ago... This shouldn't keep happening because the crooks only use the password once at the time of the break in and don't wait to use it again."
Yup, a criminal will only try to take funds from a breached account once. They won't try again next month because they have better things to do.
