My password changed

Postby Oilanzandia » Wed May 11, 2022 9:15 am

Two hours ago my password changed without me changing it.
Luckily they didn't change my email so I was able to get back on pretty quickly
But still this needs to actually be dealt with.

Did you make a new account 2 hours ago?

Like, do you mean like another alt, or just a new main account?

Just any new account, main or alt. Sometimes when you make a new account your main or alt account's password will change to your newly created account's password.

Questions about passwords should be made via Getting Help. Include relevant details like the nation names involved, and links to any useful posts or telegrams.

In most cases, we've found that you left your account logged on, and a 'friend' or classmate changes things as a joke. The fact that they left the email intact means that it probably wasn't malicious. We'll have a look.

No they don't. Stop answering questions in Tech. You're not a mod, your information is frankly wrong, and we don't need your incorrect and misleading answers.
