To add onto what @Lionir said, you'll never be wrong to change your password, even if much like in this case it isn't warranted. For future reference, my recommendation is "if you have to ask, rotate your password." Finding out later you didn't have to is so much better than finding out later you should have
I disagree - rotating passwords comes at a cost especially for people who don't use a good password manager (and that is basically everyone). It's security theatre and generally creates distrust between people offering security advice and the people who (hopefully) are listening.
There are times when it should be done, but don't do it without a reason.
Oh, yeah, totally agreed.
And I like the way you worded that. Really good rule of thumb and easy to remember for everyone.
