Title: how to get my account back Post by: axel20 on October 14, 2018, 05:18:25 PM It's been a while since I logged in, but I tried to login with my old username today (axel2078) and it kept saying my password was wrong, even though I know it's not. I tried to do the password reset using my username and it said it sent the link to reset it, but I never got it via email. I then tried it again using my email address instead of my username and it said that email does not exist, so I'm guessing someone managed to discover my password and took control of my account. Is there a way to get control of my account again? Is there a mod/webmaster I can talk to about it? Thanks.

If you think you got hacked, you can follow the instructions on this thread: Recovering hacked accounts or accounts with lost passwords (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=497545.0) Title: Re: how to get my account back Post by: Ridaa on October 14, 2018, 05:32:00 PM Your account must have been hacked because even if you don't login for a while and if you're a newbie than they do banned your account but you are still allowed to login.

Just don't get your hopes high, there are people waiting for more than a year now and still don't have access to their accounts whether it's been hacked or not. I'd strongly advise you to check this guide out: [Guide] Bitcointalk account security (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4920096.0) Title: Re: how to get my account back Post by: axel20 on October 14, 2018, 06:47:19 PM The last time your account changed the password was 1 month ago (8/9).

If you think you got hacked, you can follow the instructions on this thread: Recovering hacked accounts or accounts with lost passwords (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=497545.0) No, that was most definitely not me. I haven’t changed my password in more than a year. That was stupid on my part since the password wasn’t very complex to begin with. I will check out that link.

This is super frustrating.

More precisely, perhaps, but somewhere in the dreams.
