Exactly, but be sure to use a -secure- password. No names, bdays or so but a nice and cryptic style. I bet that most hijacked accounts were 'protected' by too simple passwords that could be easily determined by using brute force attacks (dictionaries). It really makes sense to put attention to that little security bar. And always make a password unique, never use it twice (e.g. eBay acct & paypal).
