Personal security practices

I feel like I’m in a fairly okay place with my security. I do what I can to use different passwords for different sites. I had it preached to me from a young age to do so by my father who works in systems analysis. Sites which I use for Mason require the same login information which makes it tempting to use the same tactic outside of Mason’s sites.What makes it more tempting is the fact that sometimes I can not for the life of me remember a password for a site and have to go through the process of creating a new one. Some sites make it easier but others create a long, drawn out process to create a new password. So far in my life, I have been lucky in not having accounts compromised and I hope that trend continues. I hope that I never have to deal with what Matt Honan had to deal in his article How Apple and Amazon Security Flaws Led to My epic Hacking with but the way which I set up my accounts, hopefully I never have to. I can’t even imagine how I would handle that situation.
