One of my free credit monitoring services, which I received as compensation from a previous data leak, alerted me last week that a few email accounts of mine wound up in a dropbox. A few things I noticed:
The alert only says that the "Potential Site" of where the email was compromised is listed as www.dropbox.com .
The option for changing a password in online mail clients is lost in the menu clutter. In Gmail the process is to click Menu Bubble > My Account > Signing in to Gmail > Password. The issue I had is that at the 1st menu level there are options for Google+ Profile, Settings, Privacy, and My Account which all seem like valid places for the Change Password option to live. Each submenu is similarly cluttered, though when I found the correct path it made sense in retrospect.
I can't imagine Grandma changing her Gmail password this way. Maybe Google could replace the "Dvorak Keyboard" menu (Select Input Tool > English Dvorak) with an Update Password button. Is there a simpler process I'm not aware of?
