Steam being hacked?

2 tredecillion years for my steam password, i use a password generator and have my passwords stored on a usb stick, i cant remember any of them most are at least 30 characters.
 
I don't get this using such complex passwords, as are they ever brute forced by using a permutation method? or are they just intercepted, keylogged or stolen from someone elses database, thus rendering the complexity irrelevant?
 
Well it's no skin off my nose to generate a 10, 20 or 50 character password, so I'll use the longest and most complex one I can. And yeah you're right if someone gets a hold of my usb stick then they will have access to my passwords, unfortunately the line has to be drawn somewhere.

I used to have a 25 character complex password that I typed in by hand. Every time. Now that was a pain.
 
Obligatory xkcd:

How terrible. That is using the companies new totally secure passwording procedure too!
