I'm trying to have different passwords for different sites. Rule is, the password can always be compromised, but at least one should not make things easier. In google always use 2-factor authentication. If others provide it, use it. If there's an SMS option, use it. Facebook provides it worldwide, including for Bulgarian GSM phones. <div>

And in case some of you have used the same password somewhere
else, make sure you change that one, too. If you cannot remember
all different passwords / logins, try using some software, like
1password (unless it also has issues - Marcin, others?). More

Excerpt:
<br>
<br>
'....A user in a Russian forum is claiming to have hacked LinkedIn
<br>
to the tune of almost 6.5 million account details. The user
uploaded
<br>
6,458,020 hashed passwords, but no usernames. It's not clear if
they
<br>
managed to download the usernames, but it's likely that both have
<br>
been downloaded.There is a possibility that this could be a hoax,
<br>
but several people have said on Twitter that they found their real
<br>
LinkedIn passwords as hashes on the list. Many of the hashes
include
<br>
"linkedin," which seems to add credence to the claims.
<br>
<br>
We spoke with Mikko Hypponen, Chief Research Officer at F-Secure,
<br>
who thinks this is "a real collection." He told us he is "guessing
<br>
it's some sort of exploit on their web interface, but there's no
way
<br>
to know. I am sure sure LinkedIn will fill us in sooner or
later.".....'
