Per the latest announcements we will be resetting everyone’s passwords. Shortly you should be receiving an email directing you how to change your password. It will look like this:
Your password has been reset by an administrator. Your new details are as follows:
Username: *username*
Password: *Randomly generated temp password*
To change your password, please visit this page: *link to password reset edit page from USERCP*
If you suspect this email is a scam, you can confirm the legitimacy of this email by manually navigate to the forum URL yourself and use your new password to log in.
The e-mail is autogenerated. You changing your password now will not prevent you from having to change your password when they force change EVERYONE's password.
I finally got back in just now (many thanks, @Headliner) after having been reset for a THIRD fucking time. First time was last week when I was just logged out and forced to change my pw following the ridiculous strength rules before logging back in. A few days later I got The Email telling me my pw had been reset, and that I'd have to assign a new one, which I did. Yesterday afternoon I was locked out AGAIN -- wouldn't accept my new password. Took until now to finally get squared away. I really feel for the admins here who have to deal with all this shit -- you guys have my sympathies.
As far as this security breach that caused all this, heads need to roll at Vertical Scope. Unfuckingacceptible. Whoever is responsible for security needs to be shot, tarred & feathered, flayed alive, hung in the public square, set on fire, and then fired. And his surviving family deported to Guam.
Could you wait a day or two before you send it to me considering that I've been having some problems with my current email address and may need to create a new one.
Managed it in the end.. Getting it to work on my phone involved disabling the enhanced mobile view or the email just sent me straight to the forum index..
They are doing everything they can to fix the problem. It's so unfortunate that this is happening. All apologies.
I had to reset my password yesterday and it went fine. I come back today and my new password didn't work so I had to do the "forgot password" thing to get a new passy sent. Fortunately I still have the same email I registered with and that part went smoothly. Sorry it didn't work for you Andre *and everyone else*
Ever since the maintenance, I've been unable to load the site without using a proxy. It took a couple of tries, but I found a proxy site that actually allowed the pw change email. So I guess I'm good.
So I'm wondering, I chaned my email on here a while ago and my Original Email is no longer functional. How does that work? is my account still linked to a non existing email address? or will I get an email sent to my new address which I changed on here months ago? I'm confused right now.
There's no point doing anything before you get the email really unless if you're not feeling secure with your current password and want to change it anyway immediately. You'll still get the reset password with the email anyway though so that's your call.
So if I changed my password already a couple days ago myself (with no e-mail sent, just did it myself through my user cp), I still need an e-mail with a new password?
Just worried I'm going to be reset, locked out, not received an e-mail.
I just didn't know how important this e-mail was (like does it contain a password made by the mods for me to use, or is it just a reminder for me to do it myself).
I never got the e-mail either. Maybe that's because I changed my e-mail to my current one the moment we were told we'd have to reset our passwords, maybe it isn't, but if you could send me the e-mail reminder, that'd help because if the passwords are reseting today, I don't want to have my password changed and no e-mail to do a damn thing about it.
The email is sent to everyone. Its just a normal email asking you to reset your password. The notice at the top of the forum gives you directions on what to do. You will be fine. I will make sure of it.
I haven't gotten an email either. I do have the option to receive admin emails checked but most of the other messaging notifications turned off in settings. That shouldn't cause any issues, right?
I reset my password a couple of days ago using the "forgot password" steps, the ones that trigger an email to me and a link to follow, so I'm assuming that's good enough?
I'm also assuming PMs that I send are working even though I'm being automatically logged off when I hit Submit, so maybe I'm making all sorts of assumptions that aren't true and possibly I'm leaving messages in limbo and I'll not be able to log in next time I visit ...
At the end of the day as long as you know the e-mail address associated with your account there will be no issues. If you get locked out just do the forgot your password and make a new password.
