We had ~10% change in just a few hours.  The actual number is likely higher since people were changing their password 
prior to our official recommendation to do so.

Subject: [SECURITY] Password change *recommended* -- RESULTS?

Hello Everyone - I was looking to get an idea as to how successful a recommended password change broadcast is (to the 
entire school population)? Perhaps a percentage, such as -- last time we sent a broadcast out recommended a password 
change, with instructions on how to change your password, less than 1% of passwords were actually changed?

Thanks!
