If you're like most people you probably have the same password for all of your accounts or a close variation of such password. This probably isn't the end of the world except your passwords are probably relatively weak and easy to crack with a brute force attack. Chances are you also use your web browser to save passwords to your websites, this is probably this biggest no no you can commit. Firefox makes all passwords viewable hidden within it's options for example, but it also has a master password that locks all of that down, which is quite secure if you choose a password that is alpha-numeric & 8+ characters due to the near uncrackable AES encryption Firefox uses.
I suggest using a password manager because I know we all can't remember all of the different passwords websites force us to make. I prefer the sofware KeePass as it is cross platform, open source, and best of all FREE.
