What should I do with the email addresses that have leaked passwords?
If you have disclosed your email address along with your password, you should immediately change the password for the corresponding email account. To do this, log in to the account and navigate to the settings or security section, where you can modify your password. It's also a good idea to enable two-factor authentication (2FA) if this option is provided by the email service.
