Title: Different displayed signals of password change/ reset. Post by: tbct_mt2 on August 09, 2019, 02:07:21 PM Early today, I changed my password, just regularly changed its after a few months. Then, I saw in my Trust page (in Black color) the message:
"This user changed his/her password recently." Hours later, logging in a few times, and could not log in. Not sure what happened. Then, I had to reset password through my email. Then, logging account again, and checking myips page: https://bitcointalk.org/myips.php (nothing strange with recent log-in IPs). Next, I visited the Trust page again, what I saw is different than previous message: "This user's password was reset recently." From my experience, I guess that the forum has different indicators for password change/ reset; with different messages, different colors; and different font sizes too. https://i.imgur.com/sFvl7PZ.png Password change through email is likely marked with bigger font size and orange color, to show potentially higher risks of account change hands. I remember that admin stated somewhere that those lines will dissappear after 14 days, right? Title: Re: Different displayed signals of password change/ reset.

Last time I altered my password was over two years ago. It is a very long password . My recovery email has a really long password. I have a lot of fear of being hacked.

After creating account here, I rarely logged in, and visited the forum, just creating account due to curiosity. Resetting password sometimes in the past, back in 2017. :) The problem is likely come from I wrote down my new password wrongly at only one figure, that sounds stupid. |
