A couple of tips if I may:

1. Pick good passwords. If your password is in the dictionary, you've failed. Make sure it's a combination of letters, numbers and characters, Make it a sentence if that helps, e.g. 1thinkp@sswordsSuck!

2. Do not participate in security questions, e.g. What is your Mother's maiden name? I know that in most cases you have to participate, so what I mean, is don't choose the correct answer. It's way too easy to find out someone's mother's maiden name, their favorite sports team, or the town they were born in. So, always put false information. Be consistent with your false information for your own sake.

3. Do the same thing for your birthday. Give yourself an alternate birthday and use that all the time.
