Looks like I got caught up in the adobe breach. Let this be a lesson to all engineers in charge of such situations to implement strong security. You are partially responsible for these disasters.&lt;p&gt;I got a call from PayPal a week or two ago. It turns out somebody in Indonesia accessed my Paypal account, presumably with credentials scraped from adobe. I know, I know, shame on me for reusing passwords. Luckily no damage was done and I did a change to the strongest password I&amp;#x27;ve assigned anything yet.&lt;p&gt;Great job, op (if you&amp;#x27;re the one who wrote this service) for such an amazing tool. Everyone, if you haven&amp;#x27;t already, you really should check if you&amp;#x27;ve been compromised. I will be sending this to all my friends.</text></item></parent_chain><comment><author>Periodic</author><text>I second this.  I&amp;#x27;ve been using it for a few years now.  It gives me great peace of mind knowing that my password on a site like HN is something like &amp;quot;e5wLoMB1kZ&amp;quot;.  I only have to remember a few passwords and yet each site has a unique password.&lt;p&gt;Even in the event a leak of plain-text passwords I&amp;#x27;m still secure in knowing that my other accounts won&amp;#x27;t be compromised unless there is a very determined attacker.&lt;p&gt;However, you do have to put some trust in the extension and the website.  Fortunately, the website has some good credentials and the extensions have appeared clean... for now.</text></comment>
