    Start changing passwords mon ami

    Get a password manager and just start going from site to site and change em up. Use strong ones and store them in the pass manager. Start with critical ones like banks, email accounts, and government stuff, and then keep going…

        I personally also suggest KeePass2 for an offline vault storage that you can use with Syncthing to synchronize so the data never leaves your devices.

        It’s worth mentioning that both these programs are subject to leaks in machines infected with malware like OP’s was, so maybe if malware is a problem you deal with regularly, i suggest the online options.

      Also get a password manager which will check HIBP if the password has been breached already, since those are ones you’ll want to target first to change. IMO, if your high value accounts, like bank or email accounts have unique passwords, and there’s not a sign of a breach, I wouldn’t change those. This assumes that MFA is enabled on those high value accounts.
