I would be interested from the users who have multiple accounts, do you use the same name and password everywhere, so do you use the accounts as "one", or is it different for each instance?
If so, why?
For security reasons, if the database of an instance is cracked?
Do you not want your NSFW account's postings to be associated with your other stuff?

I use a password manager (Keepass) so every service has a different password usually 24 characters with upper-lower case, numbers, and special.

For critical services like paypal and email, I also use different usernames.

So far same name, different passwords. Not really much thought given to any of it, I just wanted to get up and running quickly and I'll possibly change it when things settle down (I'm not really attached to this name). Different passwords is just good standard practice.
