A stern reminder that we should all use a password management tool and use unique, unrelated passwords with every service.
And unique email-aliases for bonus points
Remind me how to do this, please. I always forget this part...
SimpleLogin and Addy.io are a good start
You can integrate this with Bitwarden to auto generate email aliases too
Duck.com is what I use, I generate a unique email for every website. I even started changing my old logins recently for old accounts
I agree with doing this, but the main drawback is that you can't easily check all of your unique aliases in HaveIBeenPwned without scripting something and paying for API access.
I have hundreds of unique aliases for my accounts, but no simple way to see when/if the services that use them are breached.
Mozilla Relay is also a good option
The free version of Proton Pass is a decent option.
That is not a standard mail feature, it won't work with all mail servers and not all that do have it use + as the separator.
While it's not formalised in the email specs, support for it is pretty consistent, and only needs to work for whichever provider you use
I always get funny looks when in person and I give my email address as [email protected]
I used to explain the how's and the why's but now I just say I'm a geek and move along. But if I start getting spam or bullshit to that address best believe I know who fucked up.
Yeah, I got an alert in my email last night about this. Now I have to go through a massive password reset. Fun!
Take the opportunity to switch to a password manager, which will allow for unique passwords.
One more thing to say to me to speed up changing my services related to gmail and delete it forever.
So how do we access the list to see what got out?
Edit: https://search.0t.rocks/ has the db
haveibeenpwned.com
Why on earth should people trust that site?
What's more insane is that some of those passwords in the lists are I still live intrusions that companies haven't acted on, like for example my Dropbox password is there and that's a new password that I just gave them a few months ago before I deleted my account
Can someone help me? I was norified by havibeenpwned that some password was exposed in this leak, yet when I search https://search.0t.rocks/ for my email it comes up empty.
What about https://haveibeenpwned.com ?
I've checked the list on mine, those are some really really old passwords.. Must've been a long time ago.
How were you able to search the list? I can't find it anywhere
Just tell me your username and password and I'll tell you if you've been hacked

Cheers mate.
Looks like my decision to start using keepass was a good idea, these are all very old passwords
