These guys saved their seed phrases to LastPass, not just account passwords. You can't just change your seeds without moving funds to a new wallet.

The main lesson here is never store your seeds in digital form, ever. Write it down by hand on paper at creation and then take additional efforts to safeguard it.

I wrote my seed information down for my poop coin wallet directly on Charmin double ply and then promptly wiped my ass with it and flushed.

All my apes gone!

Shit coin is far superior than poop coin. All the apes have shit coin. You never lose the password to shit coin, there's always more shit coin passwords.
