Has anyone else dealt with this? Obviously I've already changed my password but who knows what kind of crap has happened.,..
Found my password online in some kind of data breach for FABO.

Yes about 3 and 5 years ago my password for this site was listed.
I found that out through my credit service where it listed it in a series of breaches
This is possible. And not from any sort of breach on the site's part. But using same password that is used on a site that was breached. This is BY FAR the more likely scenario.
There are login Bots that can check thousands of sites from one login breach recorded in "Dark web" corners. So once again. It's HIGHLY recommended to change passwords periodically. And use different passwords for different accounts. There are many programs that can be used to store passwords "Encrypted" either locally on your system or cloud based. I like KeePass myself. And keep that password storage application version patched and up to date. Because yes, there can be discoveries of vulnerabilities to any application.

I tried that, and I'm a dog, everyone knows my name-o. And a game, where you can play online and win fabulous prizes.
Those who can't teach, teach the teachers.
This is what I was told by my first automotive mentor. He was a high school math teacher for as long as he could stand it. And that was his thoughts about the state teachers college.

I would tell you what I think of state run education, but that would get us to the N&P real quick
Yep
Wether i like it or not, my bank makes me change my pass code once a year.
Guess that's their policy, that i abide by, with my account.

Everyone should really have a fairly long password, with some special characters, combo of capitals and lowercase, numbers and letters, etc. That applies to all logins of any kinds.
Things like using the same 6 digit password to "candy crush" as our bank accounts is really bad practice when it comes to passwords.

Seperate passwords for everything?? Yaaahhh right lol

That just leads to having a small note pad with password listed is that secure?
