5teve 112 Posted January 19, 2023 I'm being asked to change my password to use RWI forum, has anyone else had this request? Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Devil 3,004 Posted January 19, 2023 Not had this, but be careful.. if it's an email you were sent - don't click on the link as it could be a phishing link. I would try log onto the website and reset your password from the website not an email you might have been sent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TanGo 2,469 Posted January 19, 2023 (edited) https://forum.replica-watch.info/threads/read-new-password-requirements.10930791/ "In researching a recent influx of Spam it has been determined that spam bots who password spray easy passwords are able to gain access to some accounts who do not have secure passwords. Thankfully, our staff are required to have much harder passwords as well as 2-factor authentication (which I recommend to all of you). On 16/01 I forced all users who have not logged in since 30/06/2022 and older to be locked out pending updating their password. I will be doing the same to all of you later this week. **Please understand, if you change your password after reading this, It's going to force you to do it again when I initiate the force new password because I cannot tell who recently changed theirs. I recommend that you wait until I force this**. You will know that I pushed out the change when you attempt to log in and it asks you to update your password."
