I tend to think passwords (except the very simplest or guessable ones)
are not "discovered" but handed over.
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".
