Don’t Use the Same Password Twice

Again, this is something we’ve all been guilty of. After all, using the same password on every platform makes it easy for us to remember it.

The downside is that if someone finds out your password, they’ll be able to log in to any of your other accounts without any issues — and security breaches happen more often than you might think. The best thing you can do is to have different passwords for all your accounts.

If you feel like that’s too much, at least focus on having different platforms for your most important platforms. For instance, keep a unique password for your online bank accounts. Also be sure to protect your email account with a unique and secure password since that’s where password reset requests from other services often end up.
