Password wont work on different devices.?
A few years back quite a few internet entities got together and sort of merged their passwords. This was probably a good move for them but now I can not seem to EVER get a password to work across different devices. I have a substantial XL spreadsheet I keep my passwords on so I know what the passwords are. I even standardized my email passwords and money accounts so There are not so darned many to track. But when I try to log on fom another device and type in the password, it wont work. trying several of the past passwords also will not work.
So tell me which sites are merged? I have changed my Gmail password and now my YouTube PW wont work? WTF?
AND..why will the PWs dont work on all the devices? and even when I change browsers on the same device?

If you set the same passwords and somebody has found out, then all your other accounts may have been hijacked, and the hijacker can have set his or her own passwords and security questions.
You should contact your bank(s) and tell them to block Internet access to your accounts until you can set a different password for each of your accounts, with the new passwords being sufficiently different that knowing one does not allow somebody to guess any of the others.

Do NOT use the same password on more than one web site! If that website gets hacked, then you only lose that account!
If your email password gets hacked, then you have lost your bank account as well - not good news!
