Has everyone checked to see if their credentials have been pwned? I hadn't in years, but check the other day, and I'm all clear. But my wifes email and passwords were exposed in 6 data breaches, and my mother in-law's in 17! Always good to know, and change passwords if necessary.

@governa I just let Bitwarden take care of that, for the most part. So convenient and easy to manage and make good strong passwords.

@governa u too? I don't need the extra features but I've been thinking of upping just to support them.

@obi I work in infosec so this gets done daily for me. But great info to share, happy to boost!

@slider7420 this topic must be frustrating to get thru to tour users! (I'm making assumptions on your user base :ablobsigh: )

@obi Your assumption is correct sir, and that is all I will say about that in case any of our customers come across this, LOL.

@obi Another similar option is Firefox Monitor, which integrates with Firefox's built-in password manager to automatically alert you if any saved account credentials were in a breach:

@obi "Pwned in 26 data breaches and found no pastes"

Good news is that all of my passwords are different. I hope! :ablobowo:

@jaysonmassey good! I try to check it every so often. Passwords all generated by bitwarden, so easy to manage.

@obi Only thing is that the site brought up some REALLY old breaches. 2012? That's a LONG time to have a stolen password.

@obi My antivirus program found 31 leaks (!!!) Most are old, but one was from 2020.

But yeah, haveibeenpwned.com is pretty good for a free site!
