[QUOTE="kC77, post: 984112, member: 92796"] I dont really change any now, every service/site i have is a totally random password even i dont know and uses 2fa/yubi where possible if you use keepass there is a nice plugin where you can check all your passwords against the list offline (this works as my keepass.exe is blocked outbound) you need to download the list from [URL unfurl="true"]https://haveibeenpwned.com/Passwords[/URL] and the plugin from keepass plugins page (hibpoffline) can scan all your passwords and adds the flag secure or pwned in your database. I do run a scan from time to time just in case one of my entries gets pwned, and i would then maybe change it (but not so much of a rush if only 1 site, and its this reason you should never share the same password for multiple sites/services) only thing about the HIBP offline database.. the guy who did the database upload made a mistake last time and ended up with a huge azure bandwidth bill, so he may not be so keen to update it!
