Lumberyard is a forked version of CryEngine, which Star Citzen was already using (fairly heavily modified for 64 bit precision) so the move to Lumberyard wasn't as big as it seems. They do however refactor other systems like items and inventory quite often which seems to be slowing down development although the new versions do seem like improvements.

Password managers are good but long passwords and password managers are better. If we are assuming MD5 then yes an 8 character password is not secure if someone is targeting you as it would take 10 hours to crack. If someone has a entire database of users let's say 50,000 users all with 8 character passwords then that would take 57 years to crack every password, so you may or may not be in the unlucky few that are at the top of the list. Also as GPUs get more powerful that time is going to come further down and you will be more at risk. Personally I use longer than 12 character passwords with a password manager, the inconvenience of having to type it in manually once or twice is not really that much greater than an 8 or 12 character long password.

On windows, you no longer need either with bash for windows you can have a near complete linux experience while running inside windows natively.
