1. My password is known only to me. Even my wife doesn't know it.
2. My password is a random sequence of uppercase and lowercase letters.
It is not a pronounceable word, and it is fairly long.
3. I use e-mail only from my home computer.
4. I use wired ethernet only
5. I never respond to the (almost daily) phishing attacks designed to
coax my password out of me.
6. My wife and I are empty nesters. There is no-one else at home.
In short, I have not "handed it over".
