Are websites tracking me with ads?

As you can see, https://www.nytimes.com/2018/08/15/technology/personaltech/stop-targeted-stalker-ads.html had a great point, but there is a solution:

For Google, go into https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated?hl=en and make sure its toggled in this position

Google no longer shows icons for none approved signin apps in security page taken a ton of icons down with it.

If you went in your Google security tab in your account area this morning you probably noticed that a bunch of the icons for the apps connected with your account now have disappeared.

Why you need secure passwords?

As said on https://www.securedatarecovery.com/resources/the-importance-of-strong-secure-passwords , "Unauthorized access is a potentially major problem for anyone who uses a computer or high-tech devices such as smartphones or tablets. The consequences for victims of these break-ins can include the loss of valuable data such as presentations, emails, and music. Victims may also have their bank account information, money, or even their identity stolen. Moreover, unauthorized users may use someone else's computer to break the law, which could put the victim in legal trouble." That's why you NEVER use your name in your password. "Did you know you never use the same password for another email" -- according to google? That's why you're "never safe than sorry"!
