A few minutes ago (22:48 UTC), I got three emails from HIBP about accounts of mine breached on the Internet Archive. Troy is quick! And I'm surprised the author of that alert() actually had the data as well as followed through

Bit of a shame the emails contain an ad for a password manager, saying there's two easy steps to become more secure: Step 1: use our password manager (fair enough), "Step 2: Enable 2 factor authentication and store the codes inside your [password manager]" ehh now it's back to 1 factor or am I missing something?

Edit: according to https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/internet-arch... (via https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41793669), Troy Hunt / HIBP already received and verified this "three days ago" as of yesterday 6pm AoE
