Exposed Password

I just received this message from Google:

The following accounts use passwords which were exposed in a third-party data breach. Change these passwords immediately to keep your accounts safe. Learn more

2 accounts with the same username and password are at risk

Just in case you get a similar message and wonder if someone else received it.

I don't know if this is legit, but I changed the passwords.

I use a gmail account for both fora but haven't gotten any notification about a breach.

Thanks for the heads up. I'll be on the lookout and post back here if anything comes up.

And while you're here....Merry Christmas!

Copper,

Thank you for stopping by and letting us know about this.

The problem isn't just the password for one site is exposed, it's if you use that same password for other sites, which one shouldn't do, but many do anyway.

I'll be darned if I can remember my password for WTF since it never logs me out.

I use different passwords too but can't remember my tapatalk login right now. I have it written down somewhere but never get on THAT computer.

Tell everyone over there that Big John says hi.
