According to recent news reports, Russian hackers have stolen 1.2 Billion passwords
(http://money.cnn.com/2014/08/05/technology/security/russian-hackers-theft/).
Now, we are all wondering whose password has been stolen and how to protect it ?
If online email companies can display to the user the last time and location from where a person had logged in, every time the user logs in, it would alert the user.
Once the user gets alerted that somebody else had logged in from a different place and at a different time, he has a chance of changing his password.
