@lewisw Yes, more security is never enough.

@dany, I like that method 😁 perhaps the most reliable to be honest. Keeping up with all the passwords is hard and having a reference point that's offline is better.

Interesting to learn about PlayNow. I guess there are many things I have to learn about gambling

@lewisw agreed. 2FA is a need and everyone should keep it on or else it's very easy to get hacked, account stolen and scammed

I normally just save my logins on the sites i use, then have a dedicated email where i store all my passwords.

Yes its important to change it frequently, probably about a few months to protect your data.

Couldn't agree more man. A similar incident happened with an admin over at discord and he was able to scam quite a few people. I feel like 2FA should be compulsory when creating an account on any platform now.

It's really sad to see that no betting company cares about their users, at the end of the day, physical casinos remain the better option.

If somebody still rocking (password123), youโ€™re playing with fire! This PlayNow incident is a wake-up call. Change those basic passwords before you end up as a meme in some hacker's group chat. Stay sharp and safe

@lewisw Yes sent it as an email to my account and also have it saved as a draft. Why?

@facebook-bawootaigho Well it seems like you are putting all of your eggs in one basket, plus you may as well just use a password manager if you're going to do that.

I assume you have 2FA enabled on your email account at least?

changing password from time to time can sometimes be tiring and time-consuming.. is there any other solution ?

@facebook-skibidirizz Although I agree it is time-consuming, I still think that this is the best way to prevent any security breaches. I also saw a graphic where it shows how long it takes for a hacker to brute force your password, I will be attaching the image below. Also you can read more here if you're interested.
