I'd like to make a plug for Google Gmail 2-step verification.  You can 
set up your Gmail account so that, when you log in from a
new computer, you are prompted to enter  a 6-digit code that is sent
to your cell phone.  This means that, in order to break into your
Gmail account, a bad guy would have to have your username, your
password, *and* your cell phone.
