    Password manager, and use different randomly generated passwords.

    The real danger is having the same password everywhere.

    Also pay attention to where you save your payment info.

    Everything I do online is through Privacy.com, with limits for each vendor. My amazon gets hacked? Most I’m out is $100, steam gets hacked, there goes $60. A subscription tries to double charge, lol no. Free trial wants to auto-bill me after 7 days, its not happening. Funneling everything through them isn’t 100%, but at least they’re not paypal, I get notified when ever even a 1 cent charge happens and I’m not leaving my bank card on a dozen random sites I’ll eventually loose track of.

      What if my chosen service doesn’t allow me to change passwords that frequently?

        It’s not that you change the passwords for each website often, it’s that you use a different password for each site. That way if one site gets hacked and your password is leaked, it can’t be used to access your accounts on other sites.

          I do this. However I also hit the limit of disposable cards.

          Turns out to not be as many as I would have thought.

            Didn’t know that! Not using it but I heard you can then they decided to ban more secure custom ROMs 🤷‍♂️
