Like all accounts should not have the same password , similarly, you must change your password after an interval. According to Microsoft, between 30-90 days, one should change their password to keep your account protected.
3) Computer/Smartphone not restarted for a long time
It is true that keeping the computer on sleep mode will keep computer away from problems but will slow down the system , if done for a long time. So you should restart your computer at least twice a week , so your system won't slow down and small problems got solved automatically.

Many people share things on social media but beyond a limit, it will affect negatively. Tagging many people in your profile picture, usage of meaningless ' # ' , sharing every kind of post on social media not seems good.

7) Not deleting old photos and music
Old files in phone occupy more space and slower down the speed of your phone. Also, hang your phone. One should make it habit to delete old photos or music which is of no use. You can keep backup of these things at online storage or can recover using photo recovery app if required. By clearing memory speed of phone will boost and phone will work smoothly.

Most of the office users save their account id and password on desktop/ laptop. It is common not to log out for people who need to login to their account many times a day. Such people sometimes forget to log out after using public system because of their habit. This has proven to be harmful and dangerous for the personal security . Data can be easily leaked.
