I updated several passwords yesterday, no problems [View all]

I've been putting it off a long time, but I got the sites I worry the most about changed. After I changed them on the site, I logged out and logged back in to be sure I had no problems. If you use Facebook, be sure you have your login information written down somewhere, and be sure your most current phone number of email is on your fb account. It seems close to impossible to get into your account if you don't know your pw, or if you can't access the phone number listed on your fb account. (Thanks to several friends who have lost access)

There were a couple of sites that didn't ask to confirm the new password, and one site had changed some of the special characters they accept in a password. I was glad I tested my new passwords.
