I, too, have a password manager and depending on the importance of the site I'm accessing, the passwords vary in length and complexity.

I use a VPN, even at home and especially on the road. If on the road, I'm very careful about the sites I visit even when the VPN is active.

For my customers, I'm even more aggressive about security. I do not download the Credit Card or PayPal information from my website, and instruct my shopping cart to delete the information.

After downloading name, address, e-mail and other info I move my customer's info to a computer that isn't on my network and never connects to the Internet. The hard drive of that computer is encrypted so even if someone breaks into my office and steals the computer, they won't be able to get my customer's info.

I feel it's my responsibility to go the extra mile to protect the information that people trust me with.

There are people out to get us on the Internet. Sure, they are a minority, but we have to protect ourselves.
