If a website is asking you for the password to your e-mail account, it’s most likely a scam! Do NOT give your e-mail address password (you’ll get hacked!) Also, don’t download anything from that kind of website, if they’re trying to get your e-mail address password, they’re probably trying to infect you with malicious adware too. Run a virus and spyware scan IMMEDIATLY! Stay safe!
