Your account is in danger - posted 1 hours ago
We've disabled a bunch of accounts today that apparently used a password that was not unique to this site. All of the accounts in question had email addresses that appeared in password dumps.
YOU MUST have a unique password on baconBits, or you may find yourself banned not just from here, but from the greater private tracker community.
Really, you should have unique passwords everywhere. Force yourself to use a password manager, and preferably not just the browser. I personally use KeePass because the files remain within my control. You could even pair it with a sync service so you can access the current version on multiple devices, or wear it in USB key on a lanyard. Figure out what's right for you.
If you didn't changed your password in over a year, now is a good time to do so. There've been a lot of high profile data dumps during these unprecedented times.
