hopefully most people use the 2 step verification
Woo, I'm safe. Apparently it's mostly from phishing sites so I figured I was good anyway.
[QUOTE=Protocol7;45944089]I'm on there but the leaked password isn't anywhere close to a password I've ever had, let alone the one for my Gmail. Must have been some fake account someone made with my email.[/QUOTE] Same for mine it's not even slightly close to anything I'd ever use Why do I get the feeling that they're all fake passwords and some kid trying to sound leet even though they weren't actually leaked
[QUOTE=usaokay;45944161]Good thing I learned from that EA hack and started to use different passwords for every website I have an account in. I keep a small book with me.[/QUOTE] I'm thinking of buying a small book and wrapping a large chain around it, and then throwing it in a safe and then put that safe inside another safe and then that safe underneath my floor. Can't ever be too careful.

Could this be a password leak where the positive effects (pushing people to enable 2-step) outweigh the negatives (because the passwords are all years old)? Probably not though because thousands of active accounts have likely been compromised
SHIT. I'm on the list without the passwords but I couldn't find my address on the one with passwords.

[QUOTE=J!NX;45944251]you could use an emergency number but that's tedious as shit[/QUOTE] How's it tedious, you just print out this and keep it somewhere [img]http://imgkk.com/i/9u_e.png[/img] [editline]10th September 2014[/editline] BTW you can use Google Authenticator with Facebook and Dropbox as well, and a lot of other sites use the same system or a similar one. Enable 2-step everywhere you can. Twitter still uses a shit SMS-based system though, it sucks

I wish I could use two-step verification, but I do not own a phone.
Why the hell doesn't everyone already have two-step verification? [editline]10th September 2014[/editline] [QUOTE=DrPyspy;45944318]I wish I could use two-step verification, but I do not own a phone.[/QUOTE] Except in cases like this.
Oh wait nevermind. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/SWSRC3f.png[/IMG] This is back when I thought using my last name and birthday was a good password.
Looks like my account is fine, but I already had two-step and a complicated password anyway.
None of my 5 gmail accounts compromised

[QUOTE=smurfy;45944270]BTW you can use Google Authenticator with Facebook and Dropbox as well, and a lot of other sites use the same system or a similar one.

You could have a string of 100 letters/numbers for a password, but I'd still opt for the 2-step process with a 6 character password.

I already tried [url=https://isleaked.com/results/en]one[/url], only to learn it was a fake a few minutes later. Probly on a target list now, probly gonna get loads of spam. Goddamnit.
I've had my gmail account since 2006 when it was still in invite only beta and had the same password the entire time (I think I changed it once by just adding three letters to the front), but I'm not on the list. Still reminded me to change it to something completely different though.
Nope, none of mine are on there. Switched to KeePass a few months ago though and I'm careful about phishing so I'm pretty good on security terms
