I'm not a server admin so can only wait on hearing from one that I use when/if I should change a password. My bank told me that they were not affected and I did not need to do anything.

Selective password changes here too, made much easier by having unique passwords per site already, and increased the password length on a few of them too. Those that use OpenSSL and have data I care about got reset, the rest I just let be for now but will change them if anything unusual happens.

Most sites have no new certificates issued (and even if, it would be of little use), so I consider password changes or any login at the moment rather dangerous. It is highly possible that if you change your passwords now, the NSA will get a full set as well.
