If you have a google account, do this right now.

At the end of October millionmommy's google account got hacked. Maybe she picked a weak password. Maybe they sniffed it. Maybe they guessed her security question. They changed her password and she couldn't get in anymore. The bigger problem was that because she never set her secondary email address, there wasn't anything to prove that this was 'her' and Google refused to give her account back. Eventually she just gave up and moved.

Check your security info. Do you have a secondary email address listed? Good. No? Set one now. It will help you when your account eventually gets stolen.
