Doesn't hurt to do that anyway, and you could take the chance to make a few different tiers of passwords (if you don't want to use distinct passwords for all sites and a password manager).

Make sure your email one is completely unique and very difficult (i.e. long), and enable two factor authentication if possible for it. Other stuff like banking or really important sites should get their own unique password.

Secondary sites where it wouldn't matter as much if it was compromised can get duplicate passwords, so if someone steals your password for that site they don't get your email access as well, only access to another site that isn't important.
