If you have given an untrusted third party site the credentials that you use on other sites, that meat is complete fetid. It is now deadly.
This whole discussion is arguing about what to do once the meat is rotten, rather than daring to maybe discuss not selling rotten meat in the first place.
When a site gets compromised and the passwords may get stolen (because of weak or no cryptography), the site should send out password reset emails en mass, and that should be the end of the whole issue. Instead it's moralizing about how they put everyone at risk because of other sites where the same credentials work. No, the user put themselves 100% at risk. But it is never discussed that way, and instead we continue this ignorance train.
As an aside, I marvel that some defensive imbecile keeps coming deep into this thread to downvote me.
