Right, the breach was terrible, but I like to think that the fast food restaurant that gave everyone food poisoning one week is probably the safest restaurant to eat at next week. I know it's not popular to do business with someone that leaked all of my account information, but Sony PSN leaked my account information and I'm still playing games on my PS3... so... Anyway, I use Lastpass now and have a randomized password for each site, so a compromise at MtGox couldn't do any real damage. I don't leave cash or BTC in there.



I switched to LastPass too after my debacle, but was never comfortable with storing all my passwords in a such potential vector. LastPass may as well just rename themselves, CmonHackMeIDoubleDogDareYa.com.

Then I discovered KeePass2, and switched that. It also does generated passwords. It stores everything locally, but you can sync the datafile to a secure backup service like Tarsnap, SpiderOak, or Wuala (maybe, not 100% sure about Wuala).
