[Discuss] Are passwords even long enough?

There was a thread on here about passwords last month so I thought I
would share.

Someone nearly cracked into my gmail the other day. I had a 50+
character, randomly-generate password too. Nonetheless, it ended up
being traded on the deep web, and I was notified of it.

Naturally, I acted quickly to change my passwords. But what saved me was
the two-factor authentication.

How does that even happen though? Compromised SSL?
