Step #2 is to use unique passwords for your main email addresses. These passwords should be unique in the universe. You must not use them with another account or to encrypt a file etc. Nowhere!
And step #3 is to keep all your softwares up to date; OS, antivirus, browser, your WordPress, its plugins, your Notepad++, WinRAR, firmware of your ADSL modem, other computers on the network, BIOS, smart TV etc. Everything should be updated to the latest version.

Hyperbolic sarcasm aside, keeping on top of security is starting to feel like Alice and the Red Queen -- it takes as fast as you can run just to remain in place. I'm starting to feel a bit more sympathy for those who give up on good practices and start using the same password/pin everywhere and pray that ill will never befall them.
