Ditto the first part of @Kari, I use both Hotmail and Outlook.com and haven't seen the issue yet. Same for my own but only had to change the password. Haven't checked Gmail lately in Windows, leave it for when on the ChromeBook.
As for passwords, I saw a hint on what to use awhile ago and it made sense, use something few people know about and that hasn't been used since before going on the Internet, something that may not show in ones background, something from long ago.
Daily getting scam emails. You are lucky to have just two scam emails in a week.
Domain-based email addresses are hard to block as the spammers change the address frequently. I have a Godaddy based domain name for my business and due to spammers, I had to change the first part of the address occasionally.Id domain based email easier for spammers to attack?
Configured Email address with Godaddy Domain name
example- name @x. com where x is the domain name purchased from Godaddy. I change it to info @x. com when spammers use the first address.
You can create multiple email addresses with Godaddy domain names

Yes, 6-10 scam emails per day to my ISP's email server. The domain of all of them is @xxxxx.netflix.com where the xs are a random string of letters and numbers. This makes it impossible for any of the email apps to block the scammers by the address or domain. Grand PIA.
01/25/2023: Today's spam domain is @q.com. Much easier to block with the email server app.

I get tons of those too. Luckily, Outlook is on point and quickly sends them to the junk pile with a backhand strike
If you want tons of scam mails use TWC roadrunner mail. They seem to filter none of the malicious mailings
