I cant express this enough... USE A PASSWORD MANAGER. I use 1Password. Not a single account shares a password with another account. It's the only way to avoid multiple accounts being compromised at once.

Quoted from snakesnsparklers:So what happens if 1Pass gets hacked? Could someone potentially have access to all of your accounts in that scenario?
1Password uses multiple keys in their security protocol. One “secret key” that they give you and you’re asked to print out and store somewhere secret in your home. And one master password that you provide. If you forget or lose either of these, nobody, not even 1Password can access them.
So essentially as long as you at least keep your secret key hidden somewhere and nobody ever finds it, your passwords should be safe from being hacked by anyone. (At least that’s the idea)
