Password compromised warning

[Horse]

Just navigated to RTTL, found I was logged out. Logged in using my saved password*

Pop-up from Google warning that password had been compromised.

Now changed

* which was only reset recently bý Admin

Interesting. Not really sure on that one. I've had it in the past, but not on here

You might have used the same username/password on another site that has known to have been compromised. Your browser is being nice and letting you know.

It was a rather simple password

Yup And I should have changed it sooner.

But although I have used the same username (it's a pre-internet nickname) on many sites, I haven't created a new login anywhere for ages.


As an aside @weeksy , any idea why I've been logged out (twice)?

Welcome to my world! I get logged out at frequent intervals although I've set the stay logged in flag. However, this seems to be an artefact of the service/infrastructure at this end and nowt to do with the system at the server end. I think others have reported it but haven't checked to see if we have the same BB supplier.

I think I've been logged out twice in the 3+ years we've been running, I don't see any logouts in the logs, so sadly I'm not a lot of use in terms of answers.
I very very rarely get logged out of any sites though

It used to happen to me as long back as on Visordown, sometimes I even get logged out in the middle of typing a post and lose the carefully crafted prose. Doesn't happen on other sites but I'm not on many. I guess it's a combination of things.

Not the end of the world though.

Logged out again this morning.

Trying the newly-changed password failed. Then worked with Captcha thingy.

I have been getting that warning for ages and not done anything.

I should change my password. Can anyone point me towards where on the site to do that? I've looked and can't see it. Maybe I'm missing the obvious.
