Stop using the same password for your email and bank accounts

I saw 3 different posts this week where people admitted their email and bank logins were identical. Last month my neighbor Sarah got her Gmail hacked because she used the same password from 2016. The hacker reset her Amazon, PayPal, and even her Venmo in under 20 minutes. She lost about $400 before she caught it. How many of you actually check if your email password is different from your financial accounts?

and that $400 coulda been way worse if she had 2FA turned off too.

Heard 2FA saved someone from a $5,000 loss once...
