Change the password and never give it out to anyone.

2 factor authentification, make sure you use private networks and don't save your password anywhere. I would recommend using these tips not just for Gmail, but anywhere, like, you wouldn't want to risk being locked out of your selling account, wouldn't you?xx
Perfect answer. These all we need to do to secure our gmail account. Nothing more and nothing less....Quote:

Change the password and never give it out to anyone.
yes it is right method
On your phone, find your Google Settings. Depending on your device, either: ...
Under "Services," tap Security. Security code.
If needed, enter your phone password and pick the account.
You'll see a 10-digit code.
On the screen of the phone where you want to sign in, enter the code.
Adding onto this, changing your password every now and then can be helpful!Quote:

Make use of lengthy passwords, turn on two-factor authentication, connect using a virtual private network(VPN), and double-check the security settings.

The most secure thing you can do without it being a major inconvenience in your life every time you want to login in to make sure 2FA is enabled. Gmail has a kind of unique 2FA model if you have an android, and this will help secure your account as best as you can! Good luck!
Best way as per me - Two-Step VerificationQuote:
