I've spent the last month or so changing all of my passwords after
receiving a couple letters from AT&T about a 2009 breach, which they denied
until recently and sent to my discontinued PO Box that's still forwarded,
as well as notices from several other companies.  The problem that still
exists are PIN access codes.  Most are 4 digits, so only 10,000 numbers to
try to hack your PIN for whatever.  Of course many financial organizations
are now using TOTP which is a PIN that changes every 30 seconds and is
unique to you and only usable for a short period of time.  It's getting
crazy out there for sure.

BTW, I've changed about 400 of the nearly 500 passwords I keep in a secure
program.  I was really surprised as to how many that were over 20 years old
and basically the same with minor variations.  Then a bunch more that were
based on a root word that I started using about 15 years ago.  Then another
root word the past 10 years or so.  Now all the ones I've changed are 10-16
garbage characters created by my storage program.  However, many old
websites are no longer in existence, so I can't change those passwords, but
the ones they had are already in the trash can.
