Depends on your outlook.

No but I don't use the same email address for every site. I use whatever the site is such as overclockers@ so it cuts down on any potential attempts if that email address is leaked from a site being breached.

One reason to now move over to a password management system like Bitwarden / VaultWarden. Then make sure all passwords are generated no smaller than 24 chars and do not use the same password.
Speaking of breaches there was one on Twilio/Authy yesterday.

Twilio suffers data breach after its employees were targeted by a phishing campaign
A Twilio breach affected “a limited number” of customers.

If you use the same passwords for multiple sites then someone is trying their luck.

Twitter got hacked recently but passwords were not stolen.
I do a similar thing except just the first character. The full name is an even more secure version of that!

There won't be any breaches once Microsoft and Apple impliment their passwordless project. 
No more passwords will be awesome.

If it's an attempt then as long as your password is different from any other site and you have 2FA on there should not be a problem.

Seen a massive uptick in spam to my Hotmail recently.

Strangely, for the last 4 days I've had several password reset attempts sent to my alt email address. Nobody's got in but some **** in Canada desperately wants to access my Hotmail account

It's teenwolf, we can tell him any conspiracy stuff and he'll believe it.

@teenwolf I keep all my passwords in my email, when I set up a new account somewhere, I just email myself my username and password and then save them all in a folder called "Passwords".
I figure that email is secure so that's the best place to keep them all, right?
Plus, it's easy enough for me to get to them whenever I want, I just have to open my email and there they all are. My email password is something I can easily remember, I took a leaf out of Dimple's book for that.
Luckily there's only been a couple of breaches of my email provider but I'm sure that nobody is interested in my details so I'm not too bothered.
(this may all be utter garbage)

I'm not moving from Authy.
When I first moved over I had about 50 2FA accounts to move.
