I wouldn't change email address, just increase the complexity of your email
account password. I like "diceware" for picking complex passwords.
Get three dice (or use a random number generator) and a paper dictionary.
Roll the dice, open dictionary to corresponding page. Pick the first 4 or
5 letter word on that page. Repeat until you have three or four words.
String them together, mix in upper and lower case, replace letters with
numbers or special characters. Add some punctuation, and voila, a password
that no brute force attack will penetrate in this century.
When I sit down with the dictionary and pick words, I fill up a sheet with
strings of three words, and then rotate through those as needed.
I recommend you write down your new password, unless your memory is better
than mine.
If your email provider will allow two-factor authentication for password
changes, that would also be helpful.
