Are our passwords secure!?!?

[wazzledoozle]

If there is any potential that our passwords could have been recovered we need to know- dont just lock the thread.

Wouldn't you need to somehow acquire the poster's email account for the password as well?

 

[Coolone]

dont take any chances, just changes your password question/answer, and change your password

Unless you use the same password for AT & say your online banking for example, you should be ok ... I mean whats the worst somone could do with your password for these forums?

This doesn't help at all.. and mods locking everything doesn't either. I guess everything I have, my WAMU account, BoA, Paypal are now insecure... Great.

Your password should be fine; there was no way for anyone who logged into your account to retrieve it. At worst, they could reset your password to a random string - still keeping your password here secure.

From reading elsewhere it seems that the actual bug was not caused by a hacking attempt, but an attempted fix to an existing issue. So again, your password should be safe.

It will take just a few seconds to change your password. I changed mine. Why not change yours, just in case?

I think its pretty clear that they are not.

Testing to see if I'm logged in under my own account...

Ok, this appears to NOT be my own account.

WWYBYWB? Log out, then log back in.

Passwords are stored as a 1-way hash folks, it isn't possible for anyone to know what your password is.

Cheers.

How about a reindexing while you are here Jason so search will work again
