These services do a lot of the hard work for you.A little prevention goes a long wayUsing strong, unique passwords:
Your passwords should be a mix of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters and should be different across your accounts..

Make this mandatory for any financial or medical accounts. Bonus points if you do this for every single account that allows it.
