In addition to having a strong password, use multi-factor authentication (MFA) whenever possible. This method requires additional forms of identification that only you have, such as a code that reaches your mobile, your fingerprint or facial recognition.

Do not write down your passwords on a piece of paper or in the notes on your mobile, use a password manager. These applications allow you to save all your passwords and you only need to remember a master key to access them.

Remember, the safest thing is not to use the same password two or more times. If you do, you would have to change all your passwords in case one of your accounts is threatened.
