One strong long-term habit is not keeping everything exposed through one path.

Examples:

• use alerts broadly
• keep recovery channels current
• do not leave old payment methods sitting everywhere
• separate major logins from casual shopping or promo accounts

The goal is not perfection. The goal is making one compromise less likely to become many compromises.

What to do:

• Review where your important financial information is stored.
• Remove stale saved payment methods where practical.
• Protect the accounts that can reset or expose other accounts.
