22. If there are WIFI routers in your home, then it's possible to know the passwords you typed( in your neighbor's house ) by detecting the gestures of your fingers and hands, since the WIFI signal they received will change when you move your fingers and hands. You can use an on-screen keyboard to type your passwords in such cases, it would be more secure if this virtual keyboard( or soft keyboard ) changes layouts every time.

27. Use at least 2 differnet phone numbers, do NOT tell others the phone number which you use to receive text messages of the verification codes.

35. If an online shopping site only allows to make payment with credit cards, then you should use a virtual credit card instead.

22. is insane mossad poo poo that you don't need to care about because if it is even possible you are already dead
27. is paranoid but I could see being vaguely useful, the better answer is SMS 2FA sucks rear end and you should use something else if possible
35. isn't the worst practice i've ever heard but it's a pain in the dick most of the time

also using a credit card is the best way to buy stuff online because it's just a credit card; if there's an issue you take it up with the credit card company.

yeah, at best there might be a tokenized option like apple pay where its automagically generating per transaction but for the times ive had a card popped its not been an issue

i think the last time was a gas station skimmer anyways. and the credit card company spotted it before me

22 sounds like it could be solved with any tablet or phone but that is some enemy of the state paranoia and you might as well live in a faraday cage too

ive noticed more and more gas stations taking apple pay, its great

(well, having the contactless reader, and actually having the payment terminal hooked in to that == supporting apple pay automatically)
