Remember to have complicated passwords. The more private the account, the more cryptic your passwords. For example, an old yahoo password of mine was:
jufh80h4unfvnxjk45ha
Brute force cracking that would take a heck of a long time. Not worth it. If it was cracked in one day, or even a week by one computer, then she's either using a keylogger, or has some sort admin account where she can control passwords of other users.
Also, I have not kept up with AOL hacking recently, but there could be a possibility that AOL passwords are encrypted in the user's computer and she might have an app that decrypts it. It's a possibility.
