I'm more annoyed about my email address being in the dump than my password (which is/was the shittest of my password set because I don't care about my LinkedIn account).
I, too, may even have used that pw on twitter (RIP both followers of my 4 tweet history). Again, because I don't really care.
I have essentially been re-using passwords for 15 years now (although my very first password on my AOL "gandalf" has long been retired), every now and again upgrading my "default strong" and using a the historical weaker ones on things I don't care about/don't trust.
Password Manager is definitely a smarter solution but I can't see myself setting it up.
- niij 10y agoI would never have thought to set one up, but after taking the pain of getting all my passwords into it opportunistically (a few minutes per day for a few weeks) it saves me time and headache now. It can autochange passwords, keep notes for sites, and auto-login to websites. Very handy, plus I only have one password in my head now.
- tuna-piano 10y agoI'm in exactly the same situation. Strong passwords for what matters, the same weak password for sites I don't trust or care about.
