Thanks for the help! I completely understand the changing of other passwords to be safe. So, kind of in closing, in essence they really only get the password that is typed in, nothing else. If that happens to be a password for another one of your accounts then they can use it for those as well (paypal, bank accts, bill paying accts, myspace accts, etc). Would they need the login name as well? Again, thank you for all the help! You really are a "life" saver! EDITED: OH and for one more final clarification: they will not be able to gain access to any of your browser saved passwords (obviously unless it is the same as you FB password)? Just want to be very clear on this part, haha. Thanks again! Great! Thanks for the help! I completely understand the changing of other passwords to be safe.

So if the passes are same then this is a problem and all should be changed if they are the same. Normally from my understanding, the phishers will change the passes of sites they gain access too locking you out. This is so they can abuse your network etc. the problem is people sometimes use one pass for many sites, the phishing scams work to get info from say FB then no doubt I assume try these details in paypal ect.
