Well if it helps, I advise people to have 3 sets of credentials: 1) Local 
computer logins (local area networking, user login etc.) 2) Internet logins for 
things that cannot hurt you (mailing lists, software vendor accounts, insurance 
etc.) and 3) Internet logins that CAN hurt you (email because someone may send 
you passwords or software serial numbers, banking, Paypal etc.) 

Under no circumstances use one set of credentials for either of the others.
