THE ORDER OF IMPORTANCE

Your email Your password manager Your domain registrar Your hosting account Your bank and payment services Your site administration Everything else

WHY EMAIL FIRST

It controls password resets for everything else.

Someone with your email can take over most of your accounts.

WHY THE REGISTRAR

Losing your domain loses your site and your email.

Recovery is difficult and sometimes impossible.

WHY HOSTING

Control of hosting means control of your site, your files and your data.

WHAT TO DO

Change these to long unique generated passwords first.

Enable two-factor authentication on each.

WHAT TO DO ABOUT THE REST

Gradually, as you use them.

WHAT NOT TO WORRY ABOUT

Accounts with nothing at stake.

Prioritise proportionately.

WHAT TO REVIEW

Whether any of the critical accounts shares a password with anything.
