4. password what password :
If you do not use authentication or data encryption, the password is the most important for you, in which case we recommend that you use the same password on all your accounts with Gmail mail, not even using the same word twice on any other service please!
With the increasing volume of accounts and services online has become difficult for us to choose a different password for each service separately and remember these words, for this we recommend you use one of the services that provide a unified login for all accounts, with different passwords, services like 1Password for example.
