Doesn't really matter because the flaw wasn't you or your passwords it was their server security. Title: Re: Forum Security Breached Post by: Xuri on October 19, 2011, 02:06:20 PM Went to Turbine's site to change my password, and was greeted by the following message:

Well, the important thing is that I wasn't using my memorable password, which I would have to change on Important Shit due to a breach. Downside to this is that I can't reasonably use a random string for, say, PSN due to the console interface. |
