Just a phase itself is a really good password

Hashed passwords are only useful for verifying somebody has the password. So if you are a website, you store only a users password hash, then when they try to sign in, you hash the password they’re logging in with to verify it matches.
You can’t reverse a hash back into the original password though.
So for you to be able to retrieve your passwords from LastPass, the password must be stored, not just the hash.

If that is your master password, yes. If that was a stored password and your master password was “Password1!” like mine was, then you need to rotate all the stored passwords.

The data stolen was encrypted. LastPass doesn’t ever have unencrypted passwords. However, the encryption is only as strong as your master password.

5G is to better use the spectrum so the carriers can support more devices. It was never supposed to help an individual consumer.

Any responsible site will salt the password before hashing it which makes rainbow table attacks worthless. Not every site is responsible though…
