Security Risk - Change your passwords

[Ouija Board]

Do you want me to email you a new random password?

Yes please and I will write it down where I can remember it.

But this was my super special secret password of secrets.... nah, not really. Updated and will promptly forget it tomorrow morning so I'll spend half my day at work freaking out as to why I can't log in at my office until I remember, laugh lightly, and spend the rest of the week with my co-workers thinking I got super-tourettes.

I forgot what I changed my password to. Can I get an email with a new one?

Pardon my ignorance, but how at risk am I if I use the same/similar password for other accounts, but ones that have no relation to this username? Just to be safe I'm combing through my various accounts and updating their passwords anyway. It's been several years so they could use it. Thanks for the heads up, either way.

I don't remember my password. Is it ok if I can be emailed a new one to replace my old one?

Email, love. I'm assuming, anyway.

EDIT: Better safe than sorry

Someone has my email and passwords?

Cue me having my very own horrorcow thread in 3...2....

 

[Lipitor]

I wonder what percentage of you had "sonichu" as a password.

Why would you even do that to a hamster?!?

Thanks for the updates from everyone about their particular situation.

 

[ULTIMATEPRIMETIME]

Are we sure that passwords were the only things affected?

 

[The Phantom on the Hill]

Also, if you used a password here anywhere else, shame on you.

Sorry. ^^; I like to keep things easy to remember

 

[Mitsunari]

Done. At least the important sites. Thanks for the warning, hope nothing happens.

 

[Kamen Rider Black RX]

I hope this is all BS but I've still taken precautions. Changed passwords on this and other sites, changed my email's password and switched email for this forum to a new "for fun" account. Thanks for the warning, will await updates.

So much for using QWERTY for every website

[Bigguy28]

Changed my password here and other important sites.

Yeah, I've changed password to important websites as well to ere on the side of caution, and also changed the email address associated with this account.

Them danged dirty trolls.

 

[Holdek]

My password is

Spoiler

SonicsFleshColouredArms

Well shit I guess 8chan is about to find my collection of Sonic the Hedgehog and Molly Ringwald slashfics and tumblr full of dried catskins, I'm so becoming a lolcow now.
