"Users should therefore slap the same simple passwords across free
websites that don't hold important information and save the tough and
unique ones for banking websites and other repositories of high-value
information."

Good advice I think. Done that for years. If someone finds the password
for some forum they may be able to post as me on another forum, but
they can't spend money, or change an account or whatever.

That said, I now use 1Password so it is easy to allocate a password
even I don't remember to each.
