      Stop using a "don't care password", now you're going to need to change your password on potentially hundreds of sites/services. Even if you think you don't care much about any of them...

      Stop using a "don't care password", now you're going to need to change your password on potentially hundreds of sites/services. Even if you think you don't care much about any of them individually, it's still going to be annoying when you get locked out of some of them like this.

      Get a password manager and start randomly generating a unique password for everything. Then you really don't have to care, because any of them getting compromised can't affect any others. If you're going to change a bunch of passwords as a result of this breach (and you should be), this is the ideal time to start doing it properly.
