This is something I've been putting off way too long.
Wow, you've really mastered the power of positive giving-up.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Why is that every time there is a problem with something I have signed up for, the solution involves signing up for something else? Or, more likely, three other things?

The think about the Yahoo breech is that it happened 3 years ago, and I've changed my password a few times since then.

Didn't Last Pass get breached too?

Yeah, I changed mine last August, when there were rumors of a breach, then again in October, when the smaller breach hit the news, and then again a couple days ago.
I'm having trouble figuring out how to use LastPass. Like, it automatically did.... something... or tried to, at seven websites, one of which I have zero memory of ever having heard of before let alone signing up for (and then there is Linked In which I have heard of but remember deciding not to sign up for), but I can't figure out how to get LastPass to do whatever it is it does with any more websites.

I don't like password handling systems, because I don't want to give a service control of my passwords. I may not be the most creative in creating passwords, but they're in my head (and in a subfolder of a gay porn folder that should distract anyone poking around where they shouldn't).

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
You could hide them in a folder named "EULAs". No one would look there.

LastPass got partially breached. The first of five layers of hashed/encyryption was breached for some thousand accounts, LastPass caught it, stopped it, changed things.
