Anyone who gets one of my passwords would also need my HH number, which nobody should be able to find without physically stealing my HH card or my laptop.

That link requires username or HH number, which they won't have from an email/password list. Unless "access to your e-mail account" means access to old emails that include your number, I don't see a way in. I have never liked the implications of cloud storage, so continue to auto-download all of my email. If someone got into my email account, they wouldn't get to see messages more than 10 mins old. I guess they could keep spying on my emails for a month until a HH email comes in, but they probably don't have the patience.
