MtGox salted passwords cracked

This is a brute force / dictionary attack. Only "bad" passwords have been cracked.

My password isn't on the list—it's a randomly generated 17-char string of alphanumeric and mixed case character.

Btw, you should all check out 1Password. Automates the process, syncs with all my devices and dropbox, and integrates with all the major browsers.

My MtGox password was only 8 reasonably random characters and is also not on the list.

I always use unique passwords so I don't care that much if it gets broken.

It looks windows-only. Not going to work for me.

Um it most certainly isn't Win-only. 1Password has fantastic Mac and iOS apps.

Mac is the first platform listed.

Looks great but no Linux support. Since I use Ubuntu on my work (and home) laptop and netbook, this is largely useless for me.

KeePassX + Dropbox is a great way to go, but it's kind of more "DIY"-ish. Still not hard to set up, keeps all my passwords in sync, and KeePassX has some great features like "auto-type" which basically is a one-click website login.

I now use the max-length passwords on all the sites I use, and they're all crazy random ones. I don't memorize any of them because it's so easy to reset a password if I lost my KeePassX access (unlikely since it's on Dropbox + 4 computers + CrashPlan backups).
