login problems thread

[Jacksplat]

Simply put:

As of today only, Login doesnt remember me. I have to login each time with my 14+ character pw (no fun). But not only that, when I do login and of course choose "remember me" I get the splash screen saying "Welcome Jacksplat" but after that when redirected to the main page of dnf I am no longer logged in.

However, If I choose the "click here if your not immediately redirected" option I still end up not logged in. Only when I choose to enter the chatroom option am I able to stay logged in.. But...... If I should close the window I will need to do this whole song and dance once again.

I can live with it, as annoying as it is. I'm just informing you all.

Kevin.

first i got a pop up for www_pkr_com
and now for www_32vegas_com

When I came back on it said my pass is 1 day old (whoopie) and made me change it, ugh

 

[9MM]

Don't got that problem here; seems fine, using FF, don't got pop up problem either though

 

[Theo]

No popups here.

 

[BidNo]

I go an pm from admin asking me to change passwords (which I did). Logged back on after a couple hours and got a notice that my password was one day old and must be changed (which I did). I hope these were both legitimate requests (otherwise don't believe anything I say... )

 

[Poohnix]

I got the same; had to change passwords twice. If dnforum is hacked, that seems to be a great way for the hacker to collect passwords, but I have used unique passwords, definitely not the same as for any registrar or such.

 

[BLazeD]

Yeah this is quite worrying, I changed passwords twice now.

 

[domain newbie]

me to got pm from admin and changed passwords, "scary"

 

[Gerry]

Well, just for the hell of it I changed my password again. Third time tonight.

Might as well be on the side of caution.

We're all getting the same messages, I presume.

Like to believe it was from Media Hound, but...who knows.

So while I am in here, I changed it again.

i use saved automated password here in case,

just make sure you change your email's password ones a month or so- thought to hack your email takes up to 10 days (I've heard from russia) they do gmail, hotmail and yahoo from around 200 gbp only

 

[Bill Roy]

Just got same request to change password saying password was 90 days old. I had forgot mine (surprise, surprise) so had to have it emailed to me by the system. I have changed it now.

Has this been highlighted to a mod or admin? (I note none are on at the moment.)

 

[DN BROKER]

yes, MH suggested to have your password changed... the only thing that I was concerned with was the two pop ups... during browsing on the forum... it did stop.. not sure what activated them.

 

[TiffanyR]

i just changed it should i again?

 

[Mr. Deleted]

Your password is 1 days old, and has therefore expired.

Please change your password using this page.

made me change it last night for a 123 day old pass - this is crazy

 

[domain newbie]

OMG please does anyone have a free antivirus software download link?? my norton expired

 

[petrosc]

buy a copy, $30/year for something as important as a good antivirus should not be a drawback

 

[Who cares?]

That's is the proof that forum was hacked.
use unique passwords!

 

[tristanperry]

I changed my password after getting the PM, although after getting over-zealous reading this thread, I just changed my password again; this time to my 'uber password' though :blush:

Lmao! :lol:

I'm sure that DNF is secure, although it'd be nice to have some insight into what happened
