The 4+1 Tier Password System for Staying Safe and Sane

I don't think that my email is only a Tier 3. I have half of my online communications in Gmail and would be very upset if it were compromised.

EMAIL deserves to be TIER 1 in the regards that if one breaks this layer of security, they are often able to gain access to most anything, including financial institutions.

I agree. I toyed with putting it in Tier 2, but ended up just leaving it in 3 (since it logically makes sense there) and using the security trick I use for Tier 2 to make it safer.
