13 Things You Need to Know About Your Finances in 2019

11. How to keep passwords under control

Please say you don’t have your important passwords written on a sticky note attached to your computer, as in the photo above. And double-please don’t say any of them are a string of in-order numbers like 1234567 — a password real people actually use for real accounts, and possibly the most hackable password out there.

Make sure you’re not using the same password for multiple accounts. In fact, consider using pass phrases rather than passwords: they’re as effective as passwords and easier to remember.

Better still, get a “password manager,” like 1Password, which allows you to log in to all your different accounts securely while only having to remember one password.
