Twitter wants all of its more than 330 million users to immediately change their passwords after a bug exposed them in plain text.
While Twitter’s investigation did not find evidence that any breach or misuse of the unmasked passwords has occurred, the company is recommending that users change their Twitter passwords out of an “abundance of caution.”
This mean changing your password on the website as will in apps such as Twitterrific and TweetDeck. Now might be a good time to start using a password manager.
I should not have said we didn’t have to share. I have felt strongly that we should. My mistake. https://t.co/Cqbs1KiUWd
