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

Your username/password is cached by the browser.
Your clever browser will check them against known lists of compromised usernames/passwords.
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.

Yup And I should have changed it sooner.weeksy wrote: ↑Wed Feb 28, 2024 8:35 pmIt was a rather simple passwordKungFooBob wrote: ↑Wed Feb 28, 2024 8:31 pm Your username/password is cached by the browser.

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)?

Re: Password compromised warning
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.Horse wrote: ↑Wed Feb 28, 2024 8:42 pmYup And I should have changed it sooner.weeksy wrote: ↑Wed Feb 28, 2024 8:35 pmIt was a rather simple passwordKungFooBob wrote: ↑Wed Feb 28, 2024 8:31 pm Your username/password is cached by the browser.

Re: Password compromised warning
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

Re: Password compromised warning
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.

Re: Password compromised warning
Logged out again this morning.
Trying the newly-changed password failed. Then worked with Captcha thingy.

Re: Password compromised warning
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.
