Needless to say every account now has different passwords, which are significantly more robust.
This is always a good time: https://haveibeenpwned.com/. I find myself in new breaches every 3-4 months. It is legit, they check your email only, but can give you info about whether your password was part of the breach, and whether it was stored in cleartext or encrypted, sometimes how likely it is that your password has been cracked using rainbow tables, etc.

It's just a good idea to have separate passwords for all of your points & miles & financial accounts (+ google) and to change them every 3-6 months at least.
