    I can’t change the password because the site is still down. Although my password is randomly generated and different to any of my others.

    Update 2 days later: Yep, I’m one of the 31M affected users. Still waiting for the site to go up so I can change the password. Check if you’ve been affected on https://haveibeenpwned.com/

      The idea is to change your passwords on other sites if they shared the same password (which is why you shouldn’t do this).

        The real advice is to use a password manager to generate random passwords and store them for you, so no two passwords are the same, and the only password you need to remember is the one to unlock the password manager

        I use keePass as it’s open source and available on all operating systems. Also you can move the camel case in your head to make it keepAss.
