    So just change whatever passwords you had saved to LastPass. That would mitigate any issues, right?

      Pretty much. Though also any security questions or other private info you have saved, some of which is much more annoying to protect.

      Though one annoying thing is that even if you change everything, what they find might help them social engineer an attack.

      I second Bitwarden, BTW. Best password manager I’ve used.

      Just. It’s not an insurmountable problem, but I wouldn’t be happy changing the login details, one by one, on the some 80 websites I have in my vault.

      Not to mention if you’re using an email anonymizer, you’ll have to regenerate new emails for them all too. I guess you could do it on demand, but knowing my batch of emails in floating around the dark web doesn’t sit well with me. Worse yet if it’s your actual email, then they have that now.

      Your username gives me PTSD for past Hades speedruns and I hate it.
