+--- Thread: Past Password Reset (/showthread.php?tid=5259356)

It's better to do this than to rely on users to change their password themselves. Some are still ignorant and choose not to change their passwords just because they have 2FA activated.

But it's not the right time to force password reset when there still might be a exploit out there.

I think Omni is leaning more towards the old leak.

I mean, this will stop everyone from saying. "Account stolen."
Honestly one day on HackForums everyone should have their passwords changed and to verify 2FA
And as a award for them doing it, they will not end up closed lol.

Yes, you have to change your password. It will be forced later on this week.

Anyways just send an email and I will do it.
Hoping it does not causes any more problems for you.

Is it safe to update our passwords now? Or should we wait until given the all clear? (Or am I retarded and he already gave us the all clear)

Of course, but you will be forced to update later.

I'm not sure if you did this in the last email (I had a Hotmail email connected so I didn't get it, changed now though), but I think you should put something in the email about using Authy for 2fa and enabling backups.

Does HF not send to Hotmail? That would explain why I never received the email.

I think microsoft blocks emails from HF and other similar sites.

I remember the last sitewide password change.

How do we know when to change them?
* - Grohl - May 4, 2016
I'm all in favor of a sitewide password reset. The tighter the security the better.

Not true. I'm able to receive e-mails on Outlook with no problems.
