Have I Been Pwned: Routinely Change Your Passwords

[ShadowSpear]

Always change your password regularly and don't use the same password on every website you frequent.

FYI, you can plug in an email address here and you'll find out if your email/password was extracted from a website's database during a hack. If you get the red banner.....change your password.

14 random characters to include a mix of special characters, capitals, etc works (for awhile) for a reason. The goal is to make (hope) they move on to easier targets...like @Ooh-Rah

Well shit...

DropBox, Comcast, and LinkedIn all get a FAIL.

I like that it gives month/date as well.

Thanks for posting...

so that site is full of crap. According to it, I was pwned on three services, none of which I've ever used.

And in the meantime they've got a bunch of email addresses to sell I'd imagine.

Mine was pretty accurate. It even included a pretty large forum I was a member of.

I thought The same til I did a bit of research; found a number of sites (including the two below) that make me think the tool is legit.

To add - is it possible that the services you do not recognize are sites where someone else used your email address?

Linkedin....

Pwned on one site... MySpace, hah. That was fucking years ago. Definitely not the same passwords I use now...

The flip side (and downside) of the coin is password safes & encryption. I had info stored on Truecrypt until they decided to call it a day & lost the info. The password safe was fine until I broke the phone. As good as these tools are, it pays to back up more than once. Passphrases instead of passwords are always a better option too and easier to remember.
