I suggest people should change passwords twice a month with long passwords.  If they are getting ur email you should also hide your email to remain hidden unless hackers are hacking site and they are able to get people emails

A good rule of thumb is to simply never click on links in emails for site which may be important.   It is easy to be careless one time and not notice a misspelled url and it only takes one one mistake.  So if you get an email like this (and ironically it is good advice) and even if you believe it is legit.  Open a browser manually, go to bitcointalk, login as normal.

Why would someone with a 20+ char password change it twice a month or often that is? The main thing that I'm waiting for is 2FA but that will come in the new forum I believe. One should never click these links in emails, related to anything.

you wanna know what I do when I get these emails I click the link and write my password and cursethem out with the password, they never had responded back from me, I was thinking all you would have to do is put a hidden link tracker in the email and then if they are doing it with ebay im sure they can be prosecuted no?

You're probably more likely to get phished if you change your password frequently, or at least forget it. If you stay logged in all the time you dont have to input your password, but if you have a keylogger and then log out and chnage your password the virus will know it. Just stick with a fairly strong password but one you can remember and don't re-use it or at least limit the amount of places you use it.

And for those who find it hard to remember a strong password for each individual site, they could use password management software like 1Password, LastPass and KeePass (open source). :)
