My favorite solution to the password problem is BitAuth2017. I believe that Spectre / Meltdown can't beat PoW, but I'm not 100% sure of the details.

I often get emails that someone is trying to get into my accounts. I guess there are just some trolls, trying to login into my Wikipedia account. So far, these have been unsuccessful.
Now I got an email that someone asked for a temporary password for my account.
So far so good. What I am wondering is whether that password reset trial is actually even more dangerous now given Spectre / Meltdown?
Thoughts?
(I probably should set up 2FA right now. Have been too lazy so far)
