With a full-featured password manager it's only a matter of backups and remembering your master password. You don't worry about forgetting anything after that's covered.
I think there were also a bunch of social engineering things going on at the time. Things like calling up support and not knowing the password but combining info from different sites and username and email were enough to talk support into doing dumb things. Some of the dumps include things like "First pet's name" and all the common insecurity questions.
