Just because he knows your login ID doesn't mean he can get your password. If he tried the "forgot password" they would ask a security question. If he/she knows the answer to the question.....then you would be compromised. But think about this, anyone who knows your email address knows your login so according to some of the other answers, wouldn't your password always be compromised. I think not.

try the link below for an " Ultra High Security "
Password Generator
Every time this page is displayed, our server generates a unique set of custom, high quality, cryptographic-strength password strings which are safe for you to use
I don`t think they will guess one of these passwords ( each is unused and uniquely generated on the spot when you go there....Cheers~
ps Copy and print and stash any password you use from the link below as they are strongand if you lose it? well. I tried one against the Brute force software and it said aproximate time to find pw was over 37+ years....So I am thinking umm that`ll do...
The use of these maximum-entropy passwords minimizes (essentially zeroes) the likelihood of successful "dictionary attacks" since these passwords won't appear in any dictionary. So you should always try to use passwords like these.

When these passwords are used to generate pre-shared keys for protecting WPA WiFi and VPN networks, the only known attack is the use of "brute force" — trying every possible password combination. Brute force attackers hope that the network's designer (you) were lazy and used a shorter password for "convenience". So they start by trying all one-character passwords, then two-character, then three and so on, working their way up toward longer random passwords.
Since the passwords used to generate pre-shared keys are configured into the network only once, and do not need to be entered by their users every time, the best practice is to use the longest possible password and never worry about your password security again.

All that is needed is your username and password and anyone can check your email.

That is the reason to keep them difficult to guess and private.
Use a password that is easy to remember, not a dictionary word, not a birthdate, etc. The more characters the better.
A password like AL2jBfxbs wont be easy to crack. Use parts of your name or initials - part of your zip code -- part of your last name (only a couple of letters) make it something you can remember but mixed up.. you can even use a sentance to make a password.

I will use this sentence to create 4 passwords

WUtstc4p IutsTC4p P4ctstUWi iWuTS4P sure you get the idea. Make a good one you can remember.

Then sleep easier you wont have your email read.

ya. He can download some cracks and find out your password easily and use your mail. So for better protect change your password in unique way mixing capital, small letter with number and character like $,*, etc so that it is difficult to crack your password. So change your password immediately

Yes, he can.

Anytime you think your password is compromised, change the password immediately. Use strong passwords, more than 8 characters in lenght and use alpha, numberic and special characters in your password.
