Anyone who is try to login into your account need to have an access to your other devices or account to login. That is why it is always advisable to use different passwords for different accounts.

Two-step verification is set with an email ID, phone number, or authenticator app. whenever account is signed in by a new device from a different location, then immediately a security code is sent to your device which needs to be entering on the sign-in-page for login.
