Reset Password

[pearley]

Just had an email saying I need to reset my password. Is this for real? Why?

[buccaneer66]

Possibly not

Interesting.

 

I have had the same email, and it has reminded me that I had another login to this forum, historically

 

It might be a bannable offence to have multiple logins - I hope not, genuine mistake - but it was a bit weird to get the 'reset your password' email for a decade old ID.

 

Is there a big hack thing happening?

I used this forum years ago when planning a holiday and forgot I ever had an account but have also just had a password reset request out of the blue.  I did not click the link but used the forgotten password function on here instead just in case it was not legitimate.

The email is genuine, Nothing to be alarmed about!

Yes, I had an old alter ego that I used to set quizzes.   It's the password for that the eMail was about.  Is it only this sort of thing involved, and as I no longer use it, shall I just do nothing?

Presumambly you had a pretty good record of winning the quizzes when using your 'primary' forum name ?

Come, come!  I of course didn't enter as Mac of Cygnet when Torquemada was setting them!    I did win once when Cheshire Rose set them, though.
