Such vulnerabilities are well known and fairly easily fixed, but thousands of websites clearly have yet to do so.

that means major sites dint leak passwords..

I don't get at all how it is even possible to get the passwords in plain text. I mean, who on earth is storing passwords in plaintext on their servers? This is something you learn in ITsec 101 or cryptography 101...

Thats the main reason not to have same password for everything you own...

And the main reason why use the same password for 10 years is not a good idea too...

And that's why cryptography is awesome. If done right, you can't steal credentials, because they're either not there or not on a system that can be hacked in order to retrieve them. One of the reasons why Bitcoin, if done right, is safer than every bank account - from the technological/mathematical point of view!

Or put a two factor authentication/sms verification on all important applications.
2FA is recommended in every service which provides it but never feel so secure about it even 2FA can't save you when they come for you..! Tongue

Not to have same passwords + keep changing it time to time, only things that becomes an issue in this case is remembering and managing them.. maybe you'll need a register where you'll save all your login credential after changing them saving it on a computer system is never safe.
