I mean, who would entrust all their passwords to a password manager or bother to remember all those passwords anyway?

Pretty simple question make a note and stick it on a table or below your chair,I mean no one looks below the chair when they are busy on the computer right?!

Problem: that would make my baby brother a master hacker because he'd probably start reading the Postik notes (he likes colorful things =D).

And if this is actually hackers I believe they are in a group You're not helping. Passwords were stolen from user accounts and both accounts and wikis were comprised. Wikia is already doing their best to mitigate the issue, but pretending that hackers aren't hackers or that they're in a group or something is not helping the discussion. Ja, and besides, I am beginning to have supsicions about you now. Normal people don't defend hackers. They defend hackers, not crackers.

WTF,why do you even think I am defending them,I said maybe the hackers are in a freaking group ok?

Discussing the identity of the hackers is USELESS. The people who replied to your comment are also wasting their time. Please read DaNASCAT's thread opener again:

In any case, I want to know what the importance of a password change is right now. What's the actual risk that my password has been stolen IF my home wiki has no notice on the subject?

If you can't access your password just actually email a new one and change it,if they got your ip change it,it is not so much a big deal

So I should probably change it to my Windows password. That should cover me for a while. It's just that mebee I should wait until JS is on and then the transition phase is over when I can believe the staff have well and truly fixed the exploit and scared off the hacker.
