I strongly advise all of you to open a LastPass or Bitwarden account. If Bitwarden write your Master Pass somewhere as it's a zero knowledge service, meaning if you lose your pass there is no recovering it, ever.

Once set up go to all the sites you have accounts with and let LP or BW generate a unique password for that site.

The logic there is obviously if one account does get compromised you don't have to run around like a chicken without a head trying to remember where you reused it and changing them all.

Enable 2FA / MFA on every site that supports it especially any financial accounts.

Getting "hacked" is a misnomer, no one gets hacked these days, we get compromised because we are creatures of habit, lazy, and value convenience over security.
