  1. Best practices include not using common words, not using words associated with my bio (DOB, pet’s name, mother’s maiden name) especially materil that can be found out through social media. Using nonsense passwords, hiding my content, and changing them frequently. The only way I can do this right is by employ a password manager; otherwise I’d spend half my life trying to think up new passwords and having to reset them constantly. I use PasswordWrench to help me manage them
