Don't they just save the hashes of the passwords? I thought it would be standard procedure. I mean, since the 90s at least. WTF!?

They should be held accountable for that. Too many people rely on Google, Facebook and the like also for authentication on other services.

I wasn't able to read the linked article and haven't done any research on it myself other than reading the headlines. I figured after seeing it on this thread I'd better not be negligent though so I just went ahead and updated mine. I had honestly forgotten it and became reliant on my passkey and facial recognition, so I guess it was time to update anyway. Hopefully it was just salted passwords or something else that the media has blown out of proportion. I guess I could have Grok summarize but when I asked if I should change my password it said yes.
