What is the easiest way to check the security of my e-mail account? (I have had problems in logging in to some online accounts, and I want to make sure that my e-mail account is safe).

Hi there @Strathallan57 I would advise you check your email security settings. @fr8ys any advice on this?

If you think security is compromised you should change your password to one you have never used.

Also check you have a recovery email address and phone number set so that you can regain access to your account should it ever be compromised.

On a general note, if you are having issues logging into sites, not sure if they are compromised or you've forgotten your passwords, do a virus scan of your device and also run a malware scan. I use malwarebytes free version. To this should confirm you are ok or quaranteen any suspicious files.

Hope this helps.
