Reply to comment by Damas_gratis in LPT: Check your email settings periodically. People can hack into your account and set up a forwarding rule that sends them a copy of all your emails, and you'll never know since there's no notification. Changing your password doesn't erase the rule. by LineChatter

Regular password changes are actually recommended against by most major cybersecurity and governmental security organisations. But that usually pertains to *enforced* password changes (e.g. every 60 days, etc.).

If your password was secure last month, it should still be uncrackable this month, and for every month going forward.

I used my email during high school when I didnt have my own laptop so I fear that my email still is in their old computers they probably dont know the password tho
