Somewhat missed the point
Using a password manager makes using a different password for hundreds of websites actually possible. It doesn't help for the one specific compromised site but at least it is the only site affected.

The problem is that this reg article is reporting about something completely unrelated to the blog post it references. There are valid comments here regarding the components directory change and Connor’s blog but the confusion sewn by the El Reg author means this is not the best place to discuss either issue. (maybe try El Reg's recent articles about the components directory and/or Connor's post?).
