With all the hacks in recent years, many people have access to your passwords. Change them at least once a year and always after a hack has been made public. Use a password safe like KeePass in which to store them, and go to Password Strength Meter: https://www.my1login.com/resources/password-strength-test/ to find out the strength of your new password.
Changing often is best because once hacked, your old one is no good no matter how strong it is. Phrases are better than combinations of random letters, symbols, numbers, etc. Computers run through those combinations in seconds, but phrases are harder to decode and easier to remember.

Hi John, I can see your message as well. As Jennie said the email sounds suspicious – especially as it has your password! I’m not sure but I don’t believe Legacy actually know our passwords and I’m sure they wouldn’t send it to you. Time to change passwords quickly I would suggest!

Hi John Your message has come through so it does not seem as if you have been unsubscribed. Are you still receiving list messages? The email you received sounds suspicious to me.

I am then given various links through which I can re-enable my membership, and am told that I can visit my membership page (I didn't know I had one!), and even tells me my password, which seems rather odd. All in all, this looks to me like a scam. Can anyone throw any light on this?
