I second protonmail.com. Very easy to set up. Encrypted and secure in the nation of Sweden.

Protonmail is the way to go. Based in Switzerland. Privacy focus. They have other excellent tools like a secure cloud storage, password manager, calendar

Mail.com

Not gmail.com

One of the only ones that does not require you to jump through hoops if you sign on from a different location. Does require a complicated password but have used it around the world with having to go through that annoying "for your security we need to send a pin to another email account or your cell phone" bit.

Yes yes! Protonmail!
The most secure system out there and spam filter is fantastic

When I signed up for gmail many years ago I gave them 555-1212 as my phone number.

Why would any email require a cell phone?
Why would they want to call you?

I’m pretty sure that Protonmail does ask for a verification code sent by phone when signing in. I seem to recall entering such a code within the last couple of days, but that might have been a code for another website where my Protonmail address is my username.

2FA = “2 Factor Authentication” commonly used when signing for for a service. (”Security Code” sent to your cell via SMS/text message). And also used in addition to a password when “hardening” an existing online account against “baddies”).
