my friend, who told me that he can hack any facebook, yahoo, gmail account. First i didn't believe him but when he pulled out his laptop and asked me to name any account email address on the earth. I mentioned some random guys, my relatives. And in few seconds he told me there passwords which really worked when i tried,

then next day i made another yahoo account and just after making it i sms'n him my id and told him to crack password and just within few mins he replied with exact password but he won't tell me the method but whatever he is doing, is working great and precisely but our worries are escalating day by day as we are concerned with our accounts security, what he is really doing and how can i protect my account ? and what methods he's using ?

— what you describe is believable and worth treating seriously. As suggested, ask your friend to demonstrate the method in front of you; if he refuses to explain, assume your accounts or devices may be compromised and act immediately. is right about ethics: if this is real and being used without consent it can be criminal.

Common techniques that allow this (you cannot know which without forensics):

  • Credential reuse combined with leaked databases (attackers try known email/password pairs across sites).
  • Phishing or social engineering to get passwords or reset links.
  • Malware or keyloggers on a phone or PC that capture credentials.
  • Abusing account recovery (access to recovery email/phone or maliciously added forwarding rules).
  • Physical access or intercepted messages (SMS/phone compromise).

Immediate, practical steps to secure accounts (do them from a device you trust):

  • Change the password for your primary email first, then other accounts; use long, unique passwords (use a password manager to generate/store them).
  • Enable two-factor authentication (prefer authenticator apps or hardware keys over SMS).
  • From each account: review recent login activity, sign out all sessions, remove unknown devices and third‑party app access, and check for forwarding rules or unfamiliar recovery addresses/phones.
  • Scan devices for malware; if you suspect compromise or physical tampering, back up important data and reinstall the OS or get a professional inspection.
  • If you shared passwords by SMS or chat, stop doing that immediately and consider that those channels may be observed.
  • Preserve evidence (timestamps, screenshots, messages) and report proven intrusions to the service provider; consider involving local authorities if you are a victim.

If the friend truly "won" access, ask for a clear, verifiable explanation; if he cannot provide it, cut off sharing of any sensitive info and treat the situation as a security incident.

You should ask him. But I have a feeling he is imaginary... and that you're just fishing for some tips on how to hack people's accounts.

Nowadays anybody can do anything.But he should not miss use his hacking talent.

Whatever your friend has done is true, we can hack the password from others account. Ethical Hacking is the course for hacking the passwords but it doesn't mean to hack every one's account, the name itself is indicating ethics (moral) so we should not miss use it.
