I wonder how many people are going to use the "someone stole my password and bid on that item" excuse when they buy something and don't want the card.?

I read that, and when I logged into eBay just now, there was no prompt to change. Also no message in message center.

Changed.

So now CNN is saying this hack occurred 2 months ago?

<eBay> "Whelp. Maybe the users won't care if we don't notify them."

Just seen this on FaceBook. Changed mine.

"password" was probably not very secure, so I updated mine to pa$$word to get some special characters in there.

We almost have the same pa$$w0rd

After the haertbleed bug last month, everyone should change all their passwords, anyway. I mean, you should do that once in a while anyway, but that really precipitated things. New Years and July 4th I change the batteries in my smoke alarms, get my teeth cleaned, and change my passwords. It kinda sucks.

Little fancy for me. Not sure I could remember that one.

I've probably been due for over 10 years or more. It's changed now.

Thanks for the heads up, OP.

Is this too fancy for you, "the password is nipple"?

 

[A_Pharis]

My password is "incorrect". That way - if I ever forget it - I can type in anything, and it'll tell me "The password is incorrect." *smugface*



Alternate: My password is "8 characters," because it told me that my password must be 8 characters. :-/

Tried to change mine to my6"*****

I got this error message

We're sorry but the password you entered is not long enough"

Who knew there were so many password jokes?

Not a joke I truly use that one as some of my passwords!
Because it has a number and a special character in it.
