Moral of the story:

For those worried that their passwords may have been compromised, please note that this site's database does not store them in a retrievable form (for the technically minded, it's a randomly-salted one-way hash). Weak, guessable passwords and using the same passwords on multiple sites are what can get you into trouble.

So, make them longer, stronger and have a shorter use-by date on them.
