Passwords stored in plain text. Discovered in January, admitted yesterday.

I should ask them what mine was.

Thank dog for 2FA. Still going to change mine again, though. Sigh.

For me, one pressing issue is the likelihood that many folk affected were using the same password elsewhere.

Does 2FA help with all the myriad “sign in using FB” sites out there? I never did any of that.

That's a very good question. No idea.
