I am not that smart but I always thought that using one company's authentication system to log into another site can be a source of massive trouble.

I connect all my logins with my (custom-domain) E-mail and also do regular IMAP backups of my E-mails. I run Thunderbird once a week and sync all mails.

Yes, do not force failures to be correlated.

Ideally one goes in life forcing failures to be uncorrelated, but that's extra work. Anyway forcing them to be correlated is also extra work, so just don't.
