Set up 2FA/MFA for all of your accounts wherever supported. It's probably one of the few easier things you can do that is missing from your list, and you will vastly improve your security posture for it.
I just use Google authenticator but there are plenty of other apps out there if you'd prefer something else.
This but make sure you don't do 2FA via SMS. It'll make your account less secure
Can you explain why?
The SMS communication is not secured at all as it's not encrypted and you can't encrypt it. Your wifi and your whole internet network however is generally fully encrypted by default.
