These days, I spend a lot of time changing passwords...

Oh well, my passwords normally are quite strong and change frequently. I recommend that others do the same, so that the same doesn't happen to them.

Mine are generally strong but I find it's a habit to change mine at least every 3-4 weeks with a cycle of around 10 different passwords

Same here. I just changed my origin password just in case. Luckily i have a set of about 6 that i usually rotate. Just a pain to remember which one you used where.

Use a password management tool like LastPass Vault. You can easily then remember what you used where. When you change the password on the site itself, it prompts you to update it in LastPass as well. Handy.

I HATE having to change my password. Have been using the same one all over, and have changed to variations of it over the years... now I have to change these up again...
