[Discuss] Dropbox Password Change

[kentborg at borg.org (Kent Borg)]

I recently saw something in the news about Dropbox having people change 
old passwords. Ho-hum.

Then I got one of those e-mails. I have a Dropbox account! News to me, 
forgot all about that.

Sure enough, I have a record of it in my master password list, and it 
worked to login. They say I've got 2GB of space there, could be useful. 
They've gotten all fancy, after logging in I got a gmail-style e-mail 
saying that someone logged into my account from Chromium. It didn't come 
in as quickly as the gmail warnings do, but they aren't Google.

For my new password they didn't make me enter it twice, odd.

My old password was a good one (32-bits of entropy, not reused on 
different sites) but I fancied it up a little (40-bits worth, woo-who).

The new publicity technique for forgotten online services: Have a 
security breach. Speaking of that...

I do remember I have a Myspace account. I should try changing it. [...] 
They didn't like the one I had on record, but the reset e-mail worked. I 
do point out that recently I have started getting spam to the e-mail I 
used for Myspace. Their breach was at least that real.
