Post by: Mr. Analog on August 24, 2022, 08:55:08 AM
Got an email this morning that Plex has been hacked and account info, including passwords, was stolen.

I reset my password and kicked off all connected devices but man this is annoying...

Yet another entry into have I been pwned...

It is going to happen, I just use a password DB, keep each site unique and reset and carry on.

This one is a bit more involved as you have to reconnect devices after password reset and resetup automation tokens as those change after password reset.  Took me about 40m to get everything back to working order.
