Very possible we'll need to do this again. :(

What happens if we already changed our passwords.

Well, if it needs to be done then it needs to be done.

Of course, it's not a big problem unless people on HF put their personal passwords (which some do) glad I don't.

I think its a good step for security but probably will be flooded with Contact Form requests if people lost their email or something.
But hey, let's get it done mate. The more secure, the better.

You'll need to do it again. I have a lot of work ahead of me this week. But likely by the end of it all PW's will need a reset.

I reset my password and I'm keeping the one provided (jumbled letters)
Are you forcing people to reset? I feel like that is the best choice tbh
EDIT: Gotcha

A complete reset is probably not a bad thing. Hope everything goes well.

Better safe than sorry! I'll be checking my mail!

If it's for the better to keep the community more secure, I say do it.

What if we changed our passwords yesterday? Do we still need to reset them?
* - jsquared - May 4, 2016
OK, so just to be clear, the email that was sent out was real, it was hard to tell, as when I started to look around HF, there were no major threads going on it. Just wondering what happened, and what I should do; I have not had any irregular activity on my account, and all looks fine around HF as far as I can tell. Just let me know if I should change my pass, or not :S.
Sorry if this post seems ignorant, but just really confused as to whats up.
Cheers - Jsquared

Does this apply to all members, including non-upgraded users?
* - Stashyy - May 4, 2016
Well I guess my 60 character PW needs to be reset again.
