Assuming:
* A hacker has a leaked database
* Your email and password are in this database
* Your public email is the same one used in the database
* Plain-text passwords are easy to extract from this leaked databases
* You use the same password and email combination other places
* Other places with that email/password don't use two-step authentication
Then if they have your email they can get your password and try it other places
