My password was changed on this forum

[logfiles]

Can you sign a message using an address you posted a while ago ? You can use the below format  

I second this

Just to be sure that the person behind the account is the original owner and not some new person trying to play around without minds that he forgot the password, yet they are just changing ownership. I think it would be more than welcome that OP signs a message from an old bitcoin address he has posted in the past, like this one

Well, the OP used an address today when applying to join a signature campaign. He used an address he has used previously for joining signature campaigns: bc1qalv6lg6qt7g72jx35th694zzfa98gc6d9zm0w5

He should be able to sign this address otherwise he would not have applied to join another campaign with it today therefore in this particular instance would it really matter?

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.

Can you sign a message using an address you posted a while ago ? You can use the below format 

-----BEGIN BITCOIN SIGNED MESSAGE-----
My account krishnaverma is OK and I have no more issues. The current date is <date>
-----BEGIN SIGNATURE-----
<insert address here>
<insert signature here>
-----END BITCOIN SIGNED MESSAGE-----

It's natural for you to change old password and forget to memorize or store it somewhere else, maybe after some while you may want to login with old password and it happens no access was given to you. Since you can't remember anymore you might thought someone else did but you initiated it and never used it again, I think something similar happened to me when I was actively involving myself on social media.

I changed my recent password to a better strong password thinking to secure my account more better and I didn't enable autosave password the day I wanted to login to my account I wasn't given that access so I thought my account was hacked what I did was changed password again reset it through mail.
But logic there is, when account is hacked and password changed the hacker won't leave the account with same mail probably they would include another mail to enable the original owner to completely lose access to the account.

But then the case gets more interesting if the OP failed to sign the message from the bitcoin address he's used on the forum so far.

I support that the OP should change his password periodically for security purposes - but while he has said it was hacked and his account was posted by someone else without his knowledge, then he deserves to be asked to sign the message. It could be that the account is controlled by a different user or the hacker posted this for him - so who knows?

Yeah.. Absolutely correct I also support on this, op should sign a message to claim back his account otherwise the account is at risk of getting tag, to clearly verify the action was carried out by op  message should be signed. I didn't even came to think about this as well, though was using my past experience to give an example of how it happens to me then.

Are you referring to this account you are currently using in this post? Then you mentioned that you tried to change your password and you couldn't change it either, right? I'm just wondering, did you try to change the password but couldn't? so you have access to your email?

if your account is hacked, for sure the email you use here on the forum will also be susceptible to being taken or stolen, I hope you don't have access to your email either, but it looks like you have access to your email too, which means you just forgot the password you made for sure.

[lovesmayfamilis]

Pretty funny situation. After reading all the posts, I got the impression that the OP just decided to draw attention to himself, not at all thinking that people could easily check if the password was previously changed or not. Topic from the category "just to write something"
But the situation now is that the OP has created even more fuss with his account, and people are demanding that he prove if the OP is the real owner or if the cheater is trying to protect himself from future claims.
As a result, always think about what you write about; sometimes innocent stupidity can lead to serious consequences.

This part of your post got me laughing so hard
I think Op might be regretting wherever they are now for bringing up an unnecessary topic. Now he needs to prove that he is himself and what if he is unable to sign any message?
I always tell people that they shouldn't create a topic when it is obviously not necessary.

[JollyGood]

Attention seeking is not out of the question in this wonderful forum of ours because we seem to attract people of all dispositions here 

Whether the OP is doing exactly that or whether he is doing else remains unknown but it seems he applied to join a signature campaign using a previously used BTC address on the same day this thread began.

When I said a while ago I was reffering to before the other password and email changes in 2019. So yeah, would not be impressed if he could sign with the address you mentioned.
He doesn't have to sign, but would be nice to have.

Which among the below was not done by you

I checked my seclog log, and got one more:

As already said, no one changed the password at all.

I concur.

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.

I find this hard to believe. And I find it quite a coincidence you post about your password just a few days after I left you a neutral tag about plagiarism from my DT-account.

So Bpip could not possibly cover up all the logs, or it has a limit to how long it saves security logs for each profile.
A good reason to not only rely on one particular tool for research.

It could be a possible fabricated story which might later be used to justify a claim of denying it's original involvement in the Plagiarism case

[JollyGood]

After reading this the first thing that came to mind were a couple of recent cases where threads were used to express disappointment at receiving a neutral or negative tag and as a result of that what followed were connections to alt-accounts and farming accounts and more neutral or negative feedback with trust exclusions too.

You are right, what would happened to op if couldn't be able to prove himself or herself as people demanded. Any bad effect of what it would results to the account owner? Because i believe op may only get justice if all those things said by some people here are being carried out to sign a message with the said address mentioned earlier by @JollyGood.

[hosseinimr93]

BPIP started to scrape security log on March 16, 2018 and that's why the password change that was done by OP in February 2018 is not displayed on BPIP.

See the post made by ibminer on BPIP's thread.

Seclog on BPIP goes back to March 16th, 2018.

[JollyGood]

If the OP has claimed a phantom change of password took place yet on the same the day he applied to a signature campaign using an address he has used on at least 8 different occasions while applying for various campaigns, then I cannot see the benefit. If there is another option then that would be interesting to see.

What exactly he thought he would achieve with this thread is the real question now.

If someone have access to this your account then the person who did it would already changed the password. When you don't have access to your account, did you check iton the forum if it is online or not because if it is online then that only mean someone did have access to your account. How I see it is that I don't think someone have access to your account because if it did then you wouldn't have been able to use forget password to change the password because if someone did have an access to your account then that person would mostly change the email so that you won't be able get your account through forgot password.

Exactly!! The same thoughts was risen in me... the reasons?? I'm yet to know.
Was that account an active account before the passcode got resetted? Cus I haven't been seeing that name around very often.
Maybe OP didn't just wanna seek attention; he also wanted to make publicized the fact that his passcode has been changed, so peeps won't even bother using it against him when they get to realize that for themselves....so he decided to frame a fake story to convince the community beforehand - but, _{HTF is it even possible to deceive a whole community of gurus like this?...lol}

So he finally came, on his own - without being interrogated - to report his ignorance on how passcodes are being managed.... I believe if that's the real owner behind the OP, then he shouldn't be creating lame stories like this.. now answer this; WHO TF HAS AN ACCESS TO YOUR BTT ACCOUNT AND YOUR EMAIL TOO TO HAVE CHANGED YOUR PASSCODE 2 GOOD TIMES BEFORE NOW ??

Your password should be something private and lemme ask, how many devices are you using when login in to your account? Maybe you might have used another device or system to login then saved your password and user.
These are the things you need to check before you stop getting access to your account. I prefer you use just one system or device to avoid such from happening again.

[SamReomo]

If your password was changed and you weren't able to log in with your account then you should change the password, but I'm thinking again that why have you  created this thread if you were able to change your password without any issues? You have somehow got yourself into an unwanted trouble by creating this post. I don't think that it was necessary to create this post because changing the password is your own decision, and a user can do that for security purpose without asking others permission. If you haven't done anything wrong then you should not worry at all, and I'm quite sure that no one will leave any negative tags only because you changed your own account's password.

However, I recommend you to sign a message using that address if you can because that would be helpful in clearing the doubts of those users who might be thinking that your account has been compromised. It would be very useful if you can sign a massage using your address to prove that you are the original owner of the account, and no other person is using the account. After that you shouldn't worry about anything and continue using the forum without any problem.
