Shawn Posted March 27, 2022 Posted March 27, 2022 This is the 2nd time we've had someone use an old/reused password on the boards to post in the sales section maliciously. I suggest everyone change their passwords immedietely...I might try to see if I can do a forum wide force for everyone. Again PLEASE don't REUSE passwords from other sites...once one site is compromised, if you use that password somewhere else, they've can get in here (or someplace much more important than a robot forum!!)

Shawn Posted March 27, 2022 Author Posted March 27, 2022 I am forcing all members to change their passwords...2 re-uses in 1 week is just too much Sorry for the troubles...hopefully this clears out old potential account targets Let me know if you have problems...asssuming you can reset and log back in 😛 Oh man...this blows Shawn
Bolt Posted March 27, 2022 Posted March 27, 2022 Ok cool. I reset mine a few days ago. Will do it again, as such
Shawn Posted March 27, 2022 Author Posted March 27, 2022 If the password reset functionality is working...I'll see some recent posts, so let me know if you able to get back into the forums, else I'll start checking for errors S
tekering Posted March 27, 2022 Posted March 27, 2022 Check the e-mail account registered with your account, guys. You won't be able to reset your password from here.
Chronocidal Posted March 27, 2022 Posted March 27, 2022 Yeah, had to open from the password reset email. I will admit, I think the requirements are too specific, and I really hate the whole "must use numbers and special characters" bit when I prefer just using really long passwords that I can easily remember, but I have no idea if you can even enable that for the boards.

I have a really really long pw, so you can do it.
davidwhangchoi Posted March 27, 2022 Posted March 27, 2022 i got lucky and thankfully used an email that i had access too.
Gaijin Posted March 27, 2022 Posted March 27, 2022 Done. Had to come and check since I wasn't expecting an email.

It's not about not accepting a long one, it's that it will not recognize a long password as sufficient without numbers and symbols included. Edited March 27, 2022 by Chronocidal
Podtastic Posted March 27, 2022 Posted March 27, 2022 Done. I'm long in the habit of long passwords with numbers and symbols due to work requirements.
Cruel Angel's Thesis Posted March 27, 2022 Posted March 27, 2022 Done and Done, someone who has better understanding of infosec, should get a pinned topic about this so we need to go through this again.
