Jaelli Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 I'd changed my pw when this first became known. And then I changed it again.... and I'm changing it again tonight. Thanks for the info Dark0ne. Blessings upon your head, and your firstborn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use Keepass (opensource in sourceforge) to manage all my passwords, every site has a random password with numbers, digits and symbols. That is the most secure and simple way I know to keep passwords. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
