I made my account 3 weeks ago and today my password didn’t work anymore.
I am assuming this is just forum update, but in this case email notification or informing at front page / at login would be good, so I don’t have to wonder if my email have been compromised.
Another question, what is purpose of requiring 10 character password? I have no confidential information on blenderartists.org so it feels really weird it’s place with the highest password requirements.
10 characters is neither long nor safe.
We didn’t make any updates that would affect your password. If you can’t log in anymore, just reset it.
Now I am confused because I had written my password down, so I am sure I wrote it correctly when logging in. I double checked username and password from my notes so I am tending towards something in forum still changed.
Could it be because my old password was only 9 characters long?
If you created the account 3 weeks ago and you think it was 9 characters long, you didn’t write it down correctly - the minimum has been 10 characters since we moved to Discourse.
The password I remember having been logging in with and the password I had written down we’re the same.
I am quite sure I had it down right. And I joined 11 February.
Perhaps it do have something to do with moving to discourse? Maybe keep eye on it.
We moved to discourse half a year ago, and noone else has had this issue. You probably made a mistake when you made your account.
