When was the last time you changed your GMail password?

Google warns: Change your Gmail password now to stay out of harm's way

Gmail hacking is up nearly 40% and Google wants users to help do something about it

Even if you've changed it this year, might want to do it again. **sigh**

Years ago. I abandoned it. It was compromised back during the T-mobile attack. I dont use gmail at all anymore. I do my passwords once a month. Keychain makes it easy.

Gmail used to be my primary, until Google really ticked me off regarding system generated server messages that notified me of tasks that were accomplished or failed. After years of receiving them faithfully, one day they started to get rejected outright. Ever try to find an actual body to speak to at Google? They were relegated to second class status immediately afterward.

I don't have a Google account since 14+ years.

I use Open Source alterantives.

I heard of two other free emails that are decent. One is CTemplar, which is out of Finland, because they have the toothiest privacy laws, and protonmail, which is out of Switzerland, because Switzerland. Protonmail was panned for a bit because there was a hole in their privacy stuff, but they fixed it. I use mostly protonmail. The only thing that i think is poorer than google is their app is buggy and I have to relaunch it a lot. There may be other stuff but it doesnt affect me SOI don’t pay attention. Protonmail has been so far very prompt and good about replying to any stuff I post them. I’ve never tried to use POTS with them.
