Has anyone started making all the password changes necessary to ward off the effects of the Heartbleed bug?

Everything I have read about Heartbleed is enough to make you go back to the age before computers. However, even if you did, the support systems for everything these days is computer based. So there's no escaping it. Plus this is only the beginning. I wonder what will be next?
Anyway, I have started making password changes after carefully checking each website for vulnerability. It is a tedious process to say the least. It is painstakingly slow.
Does anyone have any ideas to make this process easier and less painful?

This may not help you this time but I use LastPass as my password manager and they made it very easy because they very quickly released a tool that allowed me to automatically check all of my stored passwords and alert me to which ones were for affected sites and whether or not the site had yet corrected the problem. Additionally LastPass has always been able to sense when I make a password change for a site that I have a stored password and makes it easy to store the change. It also has a capability to generate passwords with random characters, etc. http://blog.lastpass.com/2014/04/lastpass-now-checks-if-your-sites-are.html
In terms of help for this time, the password generation ability and the ability to store the passwords is something that may make your job easier.
