As you may or may not know, FurAffinity has been hacked and is currently redirecting to a queerphobic trolling board that posts a lot of libel about furs for "lulz" or whatever. It's a very unfortnate situation. But there's something very urgent that you need to do.
There is a very real chance that the person currently hacking FurAffinity has access to all of the passwords on that website in plaintext. They're claiming to, at least. The possibility is quite real, as the hacker seems to have access to Dragoneer's email account and as such could feasibly get into FA's Admin CP by resetting Dragoneer's FA password and then download things.
Anyway: if you have an FA account, and you used that password on any other website: it's best to assume that the password is compromised. Change your password on any websites that use your FA password. There's a significant chance that there will be a furaffinity password leak dropped at some point soon, and the first thing people will do is look to see if those username/email/password combos work on other websites.
You should NEVER re-use passwords by the by. Use a password manager to take care of it for you. I like KeePassXC myself. It creates encrypted local files. You can store them in your cloud storage and use them on your phone, too. On Android I open up the same file with KeePassDX. You can even store 2FA codes in there if you want. If you want an easier option, try 1Password.
