Title: Password Reset
Post by: deslok on June 20, 2013, 01:35:46 AM
So today i got an email saying that
"This mail was sent because the 'forgot password' function has been applied to your account. To set a new password click the following link:"

With an ip geolocating to about 1500 miles from where i'm sitting. so dumb question is who's trying to be me?

I don't understand why people attempt this.
Because people are idiots who think if they enter a random username and click "Forgot your password?" they'll automatically get access to the account with absolutely no kind of verification whatsoever?
