In addition to all of those steps, I also recommend using unique passwords
in all the sites. It is not going to be possible for you to remember that
many unique passwords (especially if you choose strong passwords). I
recommend you choose strong passwords that you memorize for one or two of
your key accounts (Google, Facebook). And use a password management (I
personally use keepass) to generate and store strong unique passwords for
your other sites.
