I got an alert that my current password may have been compromised?

[Wallo Tweed]

You forgot to say "It's just between us."

Well, since you put it that way, what's the worst that could happen!

You know those Medic-Alert bracelets?

You can custom order them. Here's mine.

mine would have to say "Delete all History and Cookies as well ", I dont think theres enough room for all that and my password as well on one of those tiny bracelets I may have to get a tattoo instead,
what do you think?

I got an alert that said my TDPRI password is not unique and may have been compromised, and that I should change it. But it doesn't seem to be from an administrator, the sender is just a question mark. Anyone else ever get a message like that?

I got the same message this afternoon. I did click on the link to change it. I changed it again. I hope that I'm safe.

I have access to everyone’s TDPRI passwords. They’re useless.

 

[metalicaster]

No alert here. I actually have no idea what my TDPRI password is. I’ve never typed it.

At work we have a poster with a dog and it says "is this your password?" I always laugh. Of course not, we have a cat. Her name is [email protected]!!frob.

Yes, I've gotten it a couple of times. So far I've ignored it...

There was no link for me to click on.

Just to be safe, send me your bank account number and pin. It's cool; I'm an Prince.

I'm betting there is more than 1 TDPRI-er that uses the same password for every online account.

 

[Wallo Tweed]

I just looked through my alerts again, and it is gone.

 

[CharlieO]

There was no link for me to click on.

Now that I think about it again, maybe there wasn't a link. I know that occasionally I get a message form Norton telling me that a password has been compromised, and this message definitely was not from Norton.

 

[Skully]

I am getting redirected from this site most days at the moment to a page telling me my internet security subscription needs renewing. It's obviously bogus.

DON'T click on anything on those pages. Just go back to TDPRI.

This site needs to up its security.

Same.

 

[swarfrat]

Those are unscrupulous ads. The site uses a third party ad provider, and they (probably google) rely on reporting of ads and at the end of the day guess who pays the bills.

Its not in the control of TDPRI. However... there are ways block unscrupulous ADS (as well as legitimate ones. )

 

[scottser]

'password' is not a password.

 

[arlum]

You don't have to worry about me. I can't remember my own passwords much less wanting to worry about remembering yours.

 

[Zipslack]

Man, this new password verification system sucks...Amateur Hour stuff here.

If they were serious, it would be required to have upper-case, lower-case, numbers, and special symbols, with a minimum of 8 characters. Also, that nonsense about it "matching password from a database" is bullcrap. I don't care if it was found 4 times...none of those were MY account. Besides, if your server/site doesn't have basic defense against dictionary attacks, then you needs SERIOUS security help.

Of course, this is ignoring the fact that this site has gotten hacked multiple times and probably will be again in the near future, regardless of the password rules and CAPTCHA.

 

[rocking rooster]

I've had the same alert and tried to change my password, and it won't let me saying :
"Oops! We ran into some problems.
Password known to be compromised on at least 1,504 accounts"

Even trying to change my password legitimately through my account password and security section, it won't do it.
