My employer/client has requested several times over my password for my
email account which is a free company open webmail email account. As
an independent contractor, my client datbase IS my company and belows
to no other. Sending emails to potential and existing clients could be
fraudently obtained. My employer passed a company employees email
password around several months ago.
What recourse do I have??

Unless you are contractually obligated to provide that type
of access to your personal accounts, tell them to fuck off.

If the email account was setup by the company, is sponsored by the
company, or was provided to you by the company, then give it to them.
If the email account was setup by you on your own resources or a public
resource, then you have no obligation to give them access to your email
account.
There is no legit reason they would need access to your personal email
account.
If they want to make sure you're doing ethical work, they should have
provided you with an email account that they own, and they should block
access by employees to external mail services.

Don't use employer-provided resources for your personal projects. They
provided the account for you to support your work for them, not for you
to use as you see fit.

Your recourse, if any, will be set forth by the user agreement or terms
of service the company had you sign or otherwise implicitly agree to
(i.e. if there's a warning banner with respect to usage rights when you
log on to the system).
Though I disagree with the premise, if the company has no usage policy,
then you have a lot of ground to stand on and they have little.
FWIW...
