The Magic Password?

Question

So someone hacks my email address so my computer wiz cousin was able to get on my email "without knowing my password, using a password using a combination of my last name and other stuff." He has hacked my email address before... is he lying about this "magic password" or is this really possible? He won't tell me this magic combination, if it does exsist, because he claims that I will hack his email address, but he can easily change it back...

Answer 1

There are password crackers/hacks out there.  You just need to learn how they work.

Answer 2

Depends on who you have your email with. Some places have a master password which varies by account and is made up of characters from your last name and other personal information. It is used by the company you have your email with for security reason only. If you want  a email that is very hard to get in to try msn live or gmail. As far as I know the only way to hack these is with a keylogger.
