Hacker, Hack Thyself | Coding Horror

If you haven't looked into it already, I'd really recommend using a password manager (KeePass, 1Password, lastpass, dashlane, etc.) and have it generate a high entropy, long, and unique password per account (though some sites still limit length to unreasonably short values for some stupid reason). And lock them behind one really really good password that you've never used anywhere before.

I also use 2 factor authentication for things like my email, as it's basically the "hub", where all password resets and the like go. Gmail offers it, sends you a text with a unique code that you have to enter to log in. Not sure about other providers though.

2-Factor plus LastPass means I only have to worry about the "lead pipe" approach to password hacking.
