New password - so confused!

Unread post by anneed »

I tried to get into the site a few minutes ago. It said I had to reset my password. As usual I have tried in vain to do this. I'm quite sure I entered the correct current password but it just kept telling me to reset over and over again.

In despair I just copied the site address, whacked it into Google and here I am apparently logged in and able to post.

So have I changed my password without realising it or what?

Please Mr Administrator, could you send me an email clarifying this?

Many thanks,
Anne

I received the 'change password' message a couple of weeks ago..

I duly changed it and a few mins later I changed it back to the original - which was happily accepted

Very tempted to do so myself Meg, though forced password changes are generally to reduce the chance of hackers getting into your account. Just imagine if a fraudster got in here and starting insulting the Modplods in your name! You'd be drummed out of the Brownies!

Trouble is Batty, they have the power. If you upset them they can (edited in the interests of Modplod secrecy)
