For your email use a rare phrase that you enjoy.

That was my last E-mail password. Unless they manage to install a keylogger on my sytem they aint getting that.
And your email is the gateway to whole thing since it allows a hacker to reset all your other passwords.

I agree that a stong password is a keuy factor but as the video shows, even those can be hacked. Howevber, I do wonder why anyone would want to bother to hack my e-mails since they contain such uninteresting stuff. Admittedly I do do online banking using Avast SafeZone (not infallible but pretty secure) but the system my bank uses is pretty secure. In order to log in I have to type in my customer number and then I have to put my credit card in to a card reader that generates a new and unique number each time. I have to type this in before I can access my account. As this system requires the the physical presence of my credit card and card reader and as the number generated is unique each time, I wonder how a hacker could get past that?
No doubt some clever geek will tell me.
