Good thing we all use randomly generated passwords for every account and always remember to change them every few months.
Passwords are safe, it's temporary session tokens (already invalidated) that were exposed.
Good call.
However, that wouldn't have prevented this from happening. Not even MFA can protect you in case of an exploit like this.
My password is 4, it was randomly generated with a dice. Every few months I roll the dice again.
I'm not perfect as far as password opsec goes, but I did indeed use a randomly generated unique password here.
Hell, even if your password safe is only what's built into Firefox or Chrome, that's still better than using easy-to-guess passwords or sharing passwords.
And randomly generated emails! (Thanks to SimpleLogin!)
Brave has a really good random password generator logged in and a password manager that is protected by a 24 character seed phrase
