Google Chrome/Password Manager/Checkup. Of course, you won't ever be notified your password has been compromised unless you first allow Google to handle it, which will check for data breach. However, that's the Catch-22, ain't it? Can you really trust Google with all your passwords? But if you store your passwords offline, obviously you would never know if your passwords are compromised or not (unless you scour the dark web and pour through data dumps yourself).
Also I forgot to mention that no matter how secure the password is (eg. I store it offline with maximum encryption and I change it often), if the website can't keep it under lock and key on their end, it's kinda pointless. It will get hacked no matter what. And that's what happened with TradingView.
Ok. I was wondering cuz I didn't see any announcement or news anywhere about a data breach at tradingview.com. No I don't use Google or anybody to manage my passwords. Cuz how do you know Google won't have a data breach one day and whether they are managing your passwords properly? Like in this case, this is obviously a false alarm. Or is tradingview.com hiding an actual data breach?
But as I stated above, you can take all the precaution as you want (eg. strengthen the password, change it frequently), but if the website can't protect it from hackers, then it's pretty much useless. Anyway, if you use TV, I suggest you change your password. You just never know if there was a data breach. These idiots might not admit it now but they might down the road.
If the leaked passwords are hashed (and no legitimate busines should be storing plaintext passwords), making the password long and complicated makes it much harder to find the actual password. That's where a password generator like the one I referred to before could be useful because password generators can easily create long, complex passwords.
Schizo, friend, I can tell you a thing or 3... "I get notifications often that my info has been compromised..." All those shitty AI progs see is a username, and then assume that the text is the message that Humanity is not ready for Skynet, we are safe, because humans are too stupid.
Lately, I've been using Chrome to generate random passwords for me. For instance, here's one it just generated for me: t&bq34hVafTdHh5 What say you to that? Is it too short or is it not complicated enough in your opinion? I've looked at the link you've provided above. That seems to be above my pay grade and, frankly, I ain't sure if I would be able to keep track of all the passwords that I generate. I'm sucha clumsy slob.
The thing is that I received this weird ransom email not too long ago. The sender sent using my own email address and he threatened me that he knew my password and that unless I pay him money in bitcoin he would do blah, blah, blah. The password he mentioned was apparently one of the leaked passwords. Of course, it's not anything important, so I simply ignored it. But this tells me that Google ain't simply bullshitting when they say my passwords are compromised.
