My password was changed on this forum

[CryptSafe]

OP I think you forgot your login password which promoted the change of password. I would advise you to store your password in a good place so as to avoid excessive changing of password.

Truly if it were to be hackers who got access to your account I believe their first actions will be to change your email so as not to allow you have access to your account here. So the idea of possible hack is not the problem but you forgot your login details.
Reset password is always there for you to use when ever you forget your password mate.

Which among the below was not done by you


According to Bpip your password was changed 3 times since registration which the last one was done today using your email address.

If your are worried of security, then try checking your login device who have access to it, increase your security measures, and don't save your login in browsers. If this was actually a hack attempt you might not be lucky next time to use your email and reset the password because it will be removed and change completely.

The last time the password of OP's account was changed before the ones today was on December 2019, however between those time and today, OP 's account is still active and posting.

The affected person had got his lesson already. He will never repeat this mistake in his lifetime.

The most common thing is that OP just forgot the actual password, and mistook it with some other password that he might use, and I think OP should be aware of this most common possibility. Thus making a thread like this is a bit too much if OP is not really sure that the account is hacked, so other people is not wrong to accuse OP as attention seeker.

Pen and paper (preferably a notebook) that sits in a safe place away from preying eyes goes a long way to ensuring password security.

Utilising long passwords that are alphanumeric and ten (or more) characters in length along with randomness selecting non word passwords makes guessing nigh on impossible.

Add in characters from around your keyboard - even those extra characters in a cell phone keyboard such as ¥€¢£®©°π√ add a higher level of complexity to your password.

Just don't loose the note book.

I changed today few minutes before making this post as I was not able to login. I am sure that I did not change password since long time before this. I remember changing it once more few years back and that time also someone guessed , changed my password and made 1-2 unwanted posts from this profile.

It is possible that you did not remembered that you changed your password, lol. Worst scenario is that someone knew that you have Bitcointalk account and has access to the e-mail address you used to register here.
It would be best to check your email address' security. Double-check the recovery settings as there might some unfamiliar recovery email address or phone number connected to it. Change the password!
Another way is to change your email-address, but sometimes that raises suspicion here. You can resolve it by signing a message with btc addresses you staked/used here though.

There is possibility of this because I am active on many forums with different passwords.

But at the time of making this post, I was sure that I was not able to login with the password I remember for this account. Now the problem is solved. I have even changed password.

If you have solved what you claim happened then is it not best now for you to lock this thread. You drew a lot of attention on yourself for something that you cannot recall whether you did it yourself. If there was a possibility you changed your password yourself and forgot about it then you should have investigated it as an option beforehand.

If there is nothing more for you add here then consider locking the thread.

Today when I tried to login, my  old password was not working. Was my account hacked ? Do I need to worry about it.

I was able to reset password as email was not changed.

To know if the account was hacked or attempt of being hacked i will suggest you trying to fish out the IPS you normally used to access bitcointalk, this will give you a clue if your account was hacked or not.

Peace....✌
