No issue here, reset and good, just had to hit the "x" for lockout message that brought me here for explanation.

Good work woody.

That's why I use one of the Password programs....1Password, Lastpass, NordPass, etc.

I honestly have a hundred+ unique passwords that resemble: 2^fHhaTBr1Y7J4dNPWyc#
PLUS Google Authenticator...and more....

Password managers are a must these days. BitWarden is a really good one as well.

I noticed a bit of a glitch. Some pics would post with an invalid link on the viewer end, but that seems to have self cleared?

Not that we are aware of.

Your password on this forum should be unique. If it wasn't before, it should be now

FWIW, that link...

...did not work for me until I reset my pw. If it's the same for others, it may cause additional confusion. @woody

Just turned on 2FA. Didn't even realize this was a feature of XF. Did this on the RS forum as well.

 

[Dirt Ferguson]

I just downloaded the 2FAS Auth app on my phone and using the QR code for MUD 2FA is super easy. Good peace of mind. Thanks @woody !
