    I sign in to TV using my Google account. I haven't recieved any hack notifications.

    (I also leave my Car unlocked and Windows down ... in the Garage. It has increased the quality of my Life considerably)

    I already covered this (see below). The one that you're talking about is the first type. What you need to do is sign into your broker from TV and allow Google to store and manage the password. Once you do that, you can go to password manager and run a scan for leaked passwords to see if that pass is already compromised. Or you can simply type this in the chrome browser: chrome://password-manager/checkup?start=true

    The second password to log into your broker's account is your username and password for your broker's account. So it's not your TradingView account that got hacked; it's your broker's account's login info that got hacked. So it's your broker that had a data breach?

  5. I use the same passwords everywhere and ETrade has said they got hacked and my password is known and the dark web has it and I should probably change it.

    One day get this someone tried to log on to my Apple acct! From some outside state I got an Apple prompt that someone was signing in and I changed that shit quick.

    It's a scary world.

    Don't you think that is bad policy? I mean, once your password is known on one site, then all your sites are compromised.

    Sheesh. You need a different password for each site you need one on.

    The simple method of 8 characters with a mix of uppercase, lowercase, numbers and special symbols is a total of 722 trillion possible combinations.

    That is not getting hacked. Ever.
