Potentially the largest data breach in history.

So they want me to type in a password I've frequently used and/or may still use today? I think I will pass on that test.
My email was listed in "only" 6 different breeches *sigh*

Not sure the site is accurate anyways. Says one of my emails was owned in 2013 from an Adobe breach. I have never given my email address to Adobe, never had an account there, never bought any of their software. How did my info leak from there? The password for that email has been change a few times since then anyways.

As far as passwords, if it's a simple password, it's probably been used by someone else at some point. So it doesn't mean that you were ever breached.

I am also with "not entering my email address" to see if I am breached group. That's just stupid. I also am not yet convinced this is a "huge" deal. I think we all know not to put confidential info in an email, so the worst thing I can see is a possible uptick in spam (which would be a pain, don't get me wrong). And I agree with others who said that the info they have doesn't look like anything beyond what a good Googler would find on his or her own. The only thing "nice" about this is that a person could be spoon-fed info, assuming it is still accurate.

The Adobe breach was a HUGE one years back, I forget the whole story but like practically everyone is going to be in that one. I'm in it too. I think at some point you had to make an account to download pdf reader or something, I don't remember for sure.

I'm about to start using separate email addresses for every service. Just need to figure out the best way to organize that as it's going to be a pain to manage. Basically I'll just have random numbers at the end of the email and then create a bunch of aliases on my mail server, and just have it forward to my main email. That way when I get compromised I'll be able to pin point which service is responsible. Also be able to pin point which services sell my info as I'll be able to tell by how much spam those addresses get. Not really a new concept just never got around to setting it up.
