This is another aspect of security that very few people realize: using
different passwords on different sites don't make you as safe as you think.

Your single point of failure is your email account, period. Once a hacker
gets access to your email, they can reset pretty much every single other
account that you own, regardless of how many different passwords you use
for those.
