I had an account on which I was using my usual low security password for non-sensitive accounts. That password was leaked in the recent attacks on the Internet Archive so I finally went and changed all of them to auto generated ones. I figured I’m probably not the only one on here who had an account to access some of the books that you can only borrow temporarily.

    Thanks for that. Weirdly enough my internet archive account hadn’t been leaked, but my usual low security password had been in an entirely separate data breach.
