I mean I understand not immediately changing the password for some online fan fiction forum, but I’d assume you’d at least put changing your password for your dozen or so important financial/email/health accounts on your todo list?
- superchroma 3y agoPeople don't know and don't know to care. People think it's enough to disclose breaches, to send an email, whatever, and other people happily go about recommending password managers as some kind of magic silver bullet, but if you're not tech savvy, and if you're not security savvy, you're honestly no better off.
- chatmasta 3y agoMost non-technical users of LastPass probably aren't even aware of the breach(es). LastPass was not exactly clear about the breadth of the impact. All their announcements were obfuscatory emails during the holidays.
- naedish 3y agoChanging your password wouldn't help in this case. They used lastpass to store their crypto wallet seed phrase - this can't be changed. They would have to move to a new wallet and pay transfer fees in the process.
- balderdash 3y agoYeah I guess some people also don’t want to go through the hassle or cost to change the locks on on their actual homes when their keys are compromised/move into a new home
- antiframe 3y agoConsidering it cost me $750 to rekey all my locks and now one can duplicate keys from just an image, I don't think I would rekey ally locks every time my key is visible in public (which one should consider compromised).
