Time to change your passwords
My Wife asked me if I knew what her favorite flower was?
Apparently "Robin Hood All Purpose" was the wrong answer!

Re: Time to change your passwords
This is good advice and it's the one I have used for several years.

Re: Time to change your passwords
Yeah LastPass is what I've been using for the last three years, and it's worth every penny of the twelve bucks a year I pay, in order to use it on all my mobile devices.
Only regret I have is that I didn't stumble across it ten years sooner.

Re: Time to change your passwords
It's scary. However, I'm not going to change my passwords just yet.
There's no indication that the data was compromised (just available to be compromised). The data was provided in just "snippets" from previous user requiring a LOT of effort from a hacker to stitch the data back into something useful, and there's no indication that any data has been found in the wild or used/leveraged.
I'd need to change my passwords daily if I changed it every time "It might have been possible for a hacker to get data".
