| Oct 17, 2017 at 16:29 | comment | added | gerrit | @Michael The question asked national ID as username. In my interpretation, we can still have different passwords. To answer your question: yes, I would be worried about that if not only the username, but the entire account was shared. | |

Your password is then only as secure as the least secure government office you used it in... and if they are cracked, the thieves have a guaranteed list of sites to use it on. | |
