1. Using the same passwords for different web sites

While using the same password on different websites, if any of the websites gets hacked, your information stored in their database will be reached by the hackers. Your information could be traced to other places, although it can be inconvenient to use many passwords if you rely on your own memory. It is advised to use password manager likes LastPass. Perhaps you've never tried any of the password managers, what they actually do is store your usernames and passwords for you.

2. Not backing up your photos

Google+ is available on iOS for this function, the Photo App on android can also set up auto backup, the Dropbox can also be used as long as your camera upload option is on.
