If you are concerned about getting your email hijacked, let me recommend Protonmail. I could give you the PW to my Protonmail account and it wouldn't do you a bit of good because the contents are encrypted. You must enter a 2nd PW to access any of the emails.

The site staff at Protonmail do not have, and can not reset, your encryption PW. If you lose that, you will have to wipe your entire email box and start over.

Edit:
Where are my manners? Thanks for volunteering and fixing this, Xeevis!
Thank you. Many email hosting providers give option for 2-step verification, but at increased security you are also increasing complexity and potentially risk loosing access yourself. Of course most experienced IT users don't have problems, but it's something casual users don't do. So even though ideally everyone should be in control of their own security, we should also make every effort to help protect users who don't have such a strong grip.
