Hey everyone, I've recently been logged out of three different accounts that are all linked to my email. Each of these accounts shows that my password has been changed, and I can't even recognize my email anymore. I'm really confused about what's happening and how to stop this from continuing. Can anyone give me some advice?

It sounds like someone might have figured out your password. Start by changing the password for your email account right away. Also, check your recovery info to ensure it hasn't been tampered with. Make sure that there are no forwarding rules set up in your email, as hackers sometimes do that to redirect your incoming mail. For the three accounts you've lost access to, contact their support for help recovering them.
First things first, you should reset the passwords for all your accounts that are linked to that email. Also, log out of any sessions you don't recognize. If you haven't set up Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) yet, you really need to do that immediately—like, right now! Make sure to run antivirus software on your device as well to check for any threats.
Thanks for the tips! I'm really worried about my email being hacked since I've noticed some email addresses associated with those accounts aren't mine anymore. Do you have any suggestions on how I can secure my email or check if it's been compromised?
