Besides having a strong password to email, we can do a lot much to increase the security of email. Below are the two tricks that I use.
1. Security Question :
Other than mobile Verification and alternate email address, this is the simplest way one can get into your account. If the attacker dox'es and gets all your personal information, there is a chance that he can answer it by guessing. So what you can do is select a question and put an answer which is not at all related to it. For example, if you select the question " Who was your best childhood friend?" then you can put the answer as your birth place, your favourite colour, mobile number,etc. so that the attacker has no chance of guessing it at all.
2. Filters :
You can use filters to make your account a bit more safe. If someone gets into your account, the first thing he will do is check all your information and accounts related to the email. Then he will go the sites in which you have your account and click on the 'Forgot password' to get password to the email. Here, what we can do is create a new filter in which you can enter keywords like 'password, key, pin, etc. ' and choose the action as move to thrash or delete permanently. If you receive any email containing these keywords, then it will go to thrash. This will prevent the attacker to gaining access to your other accounts.
These are the two tricks that I use for my email. If you use any tricks please share.
