Since there’s some pretty knowledgeable people on here regarding iCloud I 
wonder if someone could tell me something about mail and iCloud security.

At present you sign in to your account using an email address of the form: 
[email protected] with a long complex password and then follow the security 
questions - best friend’s name and so on.   FWIW these don’t need to be actual 
names they can be random characters so long as you don’t forget them.  This  
one password also gives access to email and all services.

Is it possible to have a separate password for email or is there just the one 
for everything?  I can’t see any way of doing a separate one.  

Reason I ask is that I’ve received a pile of stuff from some gaming site 
thanking me for signing up - I haven’t - which makes me wonder if someone has 
hacked the email.  They could simply have picked up the address from somewhere 
and be trying it on.

I’ve changed the main iCloud password to be safe but wondered if it’s possible 
to have a separate one for mail.
