    Change the password and never give it out to anyone.

    Get 2FA, make sure to set all the security questions straight. Get warnings about unusual activity. And use LastPass or something close to that.

    1. Use a unique password that is a combination of Upper Case, Lower Case, Special Characters and Numbers
    2. Do not use the same password in other websites
    3. Enable Multi-Factor Authentication provided by Google
    4. Provide Recovery information to Google like Secondary email, phone number etc
    5. Use a password manager : https://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2407168,00.asp

    You can take the following steps to make sure your gmail account is safe and secure
    1) Use a Strong Password (Make Sure its Unique)
    2) Review Login Sessions Occasionally for Suspicious Activity
    3) Turn on Two-Step Verification
    4) Don’t open any unexpected Attachments
    5) Have Random Security Questions
    6) Use a Secure HTTPS connection

    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 world of warcraft gold selling account, wouldn't you?
