I still haven't changed my password from the heartbleed bug conspiracy.
I will not fall for this one either.

Not sure if joking or just stupid...

Tell me, what would they have to gain by making hundreds of thousands of users change their passwords?

I've used KeePass since 2008 or so, and I gladly recommend it. Get the portable version and you can easily toss the folder on Dropbox, download it and just run the exe when needed, even on school computers we're not allowed to install things on. And I have a version on my USB-stick. Never had any issues with it.

And now I discovered and tested out the Android app, wonderful and going to make my life a little easier.

Also by now it should be obvious, but I'd recommend everyone to get a password manager such as 1Password. Using unique random generated passwords on each website means changing only one password if a website is breached. You only need to remember the master password for your credential vault. Not that much to be spent for the added security.

Thanks for the tip Qtis. Last night I migrated all my accounts to Dashlane (similar to 1Password but free). It was time consuming, but I think it's worth it.

No problem. I originally thought it was more of a chore to use a password manager (got 1Password in a bundle of programs I bought for Parallels Virtual Machines), but after you set it up once and use a Dropbox sync or a USB drive with the info on it, it's easier than before. Also not needing to have your passwords save in unencrypted files is nice.

As long as the program people use is updated regularly (a key in crypto security) and supports the platforms you need, you're good to go. 1Password was just an example of a program, since I was on mobile and couldn't get myself to make a long post of good alternatives. Luckily people on the thread have given free options with the same functionality.

Yeah, have searched and so far KeepPass, Dashlane and Roboform are on top of the list. I'll try them all out, happy to see so many options. #PCMasterRace yet again.

Also, Qtis, searched for my EZ Flash IV, I think I sold it already :'( Sorry man

Well, Thanks for the info! I recently made a eBay Account and BOY! that was unespected!! D:

o well, I´ve not only changed the pass, I now using LastPass as a manager, since it has a nice random pass generator and it´s FREEE (for PC´s anyway). Let´s see how well it goes.

 

[groit]

is this related to heartbleed?

Well, another thing added to the "things you can buy on Ebay" list:

Your own passwords and credit card info.
