I'd generally say anything you save payment info in for general physical purchases should probably be secured decently. But consider: Social media accounts used for public posting present no additional metadata. The risk profile to many accounts being stolen is "they can see my already public content, and also pretend to be me on that site". Which is of limited value. I'd really hope nobody trusted a sensitive transaction solely based on my HN posts, for instance. (It's definitely fair though that many people are not a good judge of this particular risk assessment.)
And I'd say for many sites, using a one-time password that you immediately don't bother to save is also probably a reasonable step up from this. If it remembers you on all your computers for a while... just lose the credentials and reset it later.
