Xbox Live Might Have Been Compromised - Change Your Passwords

[EvilMog]

Bunch of chicken littles up in here.

Because changing your password once in a while is something only panicked people do.

[kedawa]

In my case, that's true.
I pick strong passwords and don't change them for several years.

[cka]

that actually doesn't matter depending on how they're encrypted, you know... if ms does some dumbass shit like store md5 or sha1 hashes, all they need to get your password is rainbow tables, processing power and time

[kedawa]

That's why I panicked and changed it. Otherwise it would have stayed the same indefinitely.

[bVork]

I really wish MS allowed passwords longer than 16 characters. I tend to use full sentences when given the opportunity.

There's a 16 character sentence tailor made for you.
