There are other concerns as well.  There are social implications.

Back in 1990 when I was 16 and a new sysop, I made the mistake of using the same password on a few BBSes.  Someone from a rival local net logged into my local net's hub AS ME and downloaded the contents of our private local net sysop echo.

They then leaked it to the rival net. I was accused of leaking said info an kicked out of my local net.

Thankfully, the perpetrator made a similar mistake as I had and I was able to find the evidence to prove my innocence and get myself reinstated in my local net.
