Consider this: If someone hacked your email account, how much could they mess up stuff for you? Does your email contain amazon receipts? Partial CC numbers? Personal information? Bad people can very well use that informtation to social engineer their way into your digital life. Then they impersonate you and take over your identity. Then you have to reset all your passwords, try to reclaim your email account, close your credit cards and get new ones etc…
Now consider another aspect: If a bad person somehow got their hands on your EVE or got into your account, how likely is it that they could use that or some pattern in it to hack into your email account, or vice versa? Or any other account? I’m sure there is some pattern to your passwords if you don’t use some password manager.
It’s food for thought, and frankly, the entire reason we’ve been working on these account security measures.
