I second the LastPass suggestion. It's really the only viable way to
maintain complex, unguessable, and unique passwords without having
some kind of mutant password-memorizing superbrain. <br>

Hey Guys,<br>
<br>
My Yahoo seems to have been hacked by a spambot.<br>
<br>
It looks to have started at 7:40 and I got the first copy from
myself<br>
at around 7:43.<br>
From what I can see it started hitting some heavy
bounce/returns about<br>
that time and may have stopped or got blocked.<br>
I was able to change my password by 8ish but it looks like the
damage<br>
had been done.<br>
<br>
So I changed my password with twice as many numbers letters
and am in<br>
the process of assessing all passwords on all accounts I have.<br>
<br>
What else can I do?<br>
<br>

arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">I'd start by finding
some password management solution (KeePass, LastPass, etc).
From there, generate random (and different) passwords for
everything and memorize a strong password to unlock them.
Also look into two-factor authentication for any services
that support it (I've been using it for my Google account
for a while).</span> </div>
