Password discipline. Use passwords that are long (over 10 characters) and complex, with both upper and lowercase letters, numbers and special characters.

Password management. Never repeat or reuse a password across multiple providers.
Utilize tools. Can’t recall all your passwords? Use a password management tool, which allows you to use a single master password to manage all of your safely stored logins.

Manage access. Refrain from sharing access to your accounts.

Use trusted systems. Access your accounts or restore your archive only from trusted networks and machines. Not doing so leaves you open to data leaks.
