Password warning

Post by Michael »

I just got an alert from Google saying "some of your saved passwords were found online",and this site was one of those flagged up as "at risk"

I've changed my password, so hopefully issue sorted, but if my TBO password was somehow at risk, maybe others are too? Don't know enough to say if the Google alert implies some sort of hack on the site, or whether my password was exposed through my own actions/inactions, but thought I'd better flag this up, and suggest that everyone goes in and changes their passwords as a precaution.

Your security program should have a setting to check passwords

Edge edge://settings/autofill/passwords/settings - Scan passwords for leaks

Firefox doesn't have a password checker.

Chrome, I stopped using

I disabled 'auto-fill' option in Chrome for 'critical' sites.

There is no way, no way at all, that I'll let my PC access my internet banking etc without my hand-keyed okay.

Must be said that, after my first cataract op, reading my cryptic notes was a tad fraught...
