The bug left passwords in an internal log "unmasked," meaning that instead of showing up as an encrypted set of random set of letters and numbers, the password itself was displayed in plain text. Even though the company says it has no reason to believe anyone obtained any sensitive information, it is telling users to change their current password "out of an abundance of caution."

The company also said it is taking steps to ensure the bug does not happen again.
