    Hey guys, long title I apologize.

    I've been getting a known 'data breach' warning from Chrome that this particular site I need to change passwords. Anyone else getting this?

    I don't believe it's something to do with B3D but rather a feature of Chrome that recognizes your credentials having being exposed somewhere and appearing in a data breach database.

    Yep, my B3d password, "password12345", even though really clever, has been exposed in breaches elsewhere. :-o

    okay thanks, so it is my username and password as part of B3D that has been exposed? or just my username?

    Username and password combination. Meaning it should be changed anywhere you use the same combination.

    Since you're using Chrome, you can use the auto-generated passwords. You can always copy and paste them out of your settings if you need to manually enter them anywhere.
