•And the most important thing is use a different password on every site and don't use your main email address on every site
You definitely don't need an authenticator anymore than any other site. 99.9% of the time an account is compromised it is the user's fault.

Ran your entire checklist. Always did everything (hell I'll even add "no mods installed" to the list). Still got hacked on my WoW account a couple of years back. Nothing a quick password swap couldn't fix, but they still got in.
What 'mistakes' did I make?
