Hey, I advise that you use a free program named KeePass.
It automatically generates, manages and encrypts passwords for you..

....Shouldn't we add some sort of protection like sending a verification link to our emails then when we check them we can change our passwords ?

An optional verification link to our emails then when we check them we can change our passwords would be a great idea, but I don't know if the currently used forum software has that capability.
I would advise you to use as many characters as possible in your password, and make certain your password is truly random and composed of special characters, upper and lower case letters, and digits. You can use 100 character passwords for this forum.
I was really taking my time to change my password to be honest , because my email password and my Bitcointalk password are totally different .
Now I changed my password and I didn't have to receive anything on my email
So Basically the hacker should simply connect to your account and change the password and then you are screwed ?? It wouldn't make a lot of sense to be honest . Shouldn't we add some sort of protection like sending a verification link to our emails then when we check them we can change our passwords ?

Massive exploit that's already been taken advantage of by members.
better to ise normal browser.
Tor is great aslong as you DONT send personal info outside of the network. there are a few "exit nodes running scryptslooking for usename. passwords and bank details
so use a normal browser
if you need to stay anonymouse use a paid for VPN from a trusted company

2-factor authentication will be coming with the new forum. Your password doesn't need to be superlong just make sure it isn't simple though you should be ok as long as you change it, but a strong password is recommend (just don't forget it).

Alright that's cool then , any idea when that forum is going to be available ?
Also I think I will be fine "It would take a desktop PC about 14 sextillion years to crack your password" , However I have another question is it better to use Tor Browser or normal Browser because last time I was watching an announcement on the top says that we better change our passwords if we are using Tor browser (some SSL stuff or whatever)
I thought Tor is more secure global moderator
