Today when I tried to login, my  old password was not working. Was my account hacked ? Do I need to worry about it.

I was able to reset password as email was not changed.

To know if the account was hacked or attempt of being hacked i will suggest you trying to fish out the IPS you normally used to access bitcointalk, this will give you a clue if your account was hacked or not.

Peace....

If you have solved what you claim happened then is it not best now for you to lock this thread. You drew a lot of attention on yourself for something that you cannot recall whether you did it yourself. If there was a possibility you changed your password yourself and forgot about it then you should have investigated it as an option beforehand.

If there is nothing more for you add here then consider locking the thread.

It is possible that you did not remembered that you changed your password, lol.

There is possibility of this because I am active on many forums with different passwords.

But at the time of making this post, I was sure that I was not able to login with the password I remember for this account. Now the problem is solved. I have even changed password.

I changed today few minutes before making this post as I was not able to login. I am sure that I did not change password since long time before this. I remember changing it once more few years back and that time also someone guessed , changed my password and made 1-2 unwanted posts from this profile.
It is possible that you did not remembered that you changed your password, lol. Worst scenario is that someone knew that you have Bitcointalk account and has access to the e-mail address you used to register here.
It would be best to check your email address' security. Double-check the recovery settings as there might some unfamiliar recovery email address or phone number connected to it. Change the password!
Another way is to change your email-address, but sometimes that raises suspicion here. You can resolve it by signing a message with btc addresses you staked/used here though.

Pen and paper (preferably a notebook) that sits in a safe place away from preying eyes goes a long way to ensuring password security.

Utilising long passwords that are alphanumeric and ten (or more) characters in length along with randomness selecting non word passwords makes guessing nigh on impossible.

Add in characters from around your keyboard - even those extra characters in a cell phone keyboard such as ¥€¢£®©°π√ add a higher level of complexity to your password.

Just don't loose the note book.

Which among the below was not done by you


According to Bpip your password was changed 3 times since registration which the last one was done today using your email address.

If your are worried of security, then try checking your login device who have access to it, increase your security measures, and don't save your login in browsers. If this was actually a hack attempt you might not be lucky next time to use your email and reset the password because it will be removed and change completely.

The last time the password of OP's account was changed before the ones today was on December 2019, however between those time and today, OP 's account is still active and posting.

The affected person had got his lesson already. He will never repeat this mistake in his lifetime.

The most common thing is that OP just forgot the actual password, and mistook it with some other password that he might use, and I think OP should be aware of this most common possibility. Thus making a thread like this is a bit too much if OP is not really sure that the account is hacked, so other people is not wrong to accuse OP as attention seeker.

OP I think you forgot your login password which promoted the change of password. I would advise you to store your password in a good place so as to avoid excessive changing of password.

Truly if it were to be hackers who got access to your account I believe their first actions will be to change your email so as not to allow you have access to your account here. So the idea of possible hack is not the problem but you forgot your login details.
Reset password is always there for you to use when ever you forget your password mate.

If your password was changed and you weren't able to log in with your account then you should change the password, but I'm thinking again that why have you  created this thread if you were able to change your password without any issues? You have somehow got yourself into an unwanted trouble by creating this post. I don't think that it was necessary to create this post because changing the password is your own decision, and a user can do that for security purpose without asking others permission. If you haven't done anything wrong then you should not worry at all, and I'm quite sure that no one will leave any negative tags only because you changed your own account's password.

However, I recommend you to sign a message using that address if you can because that would be helpful in clearing the doubts of those users who might be thinking that your account has been compromised. It would be very useful if you can sign a massage using your address to prove that you are the original owner of the account, and no other person is using the account. After that you shouldn't worry about anything and continue using the forum without any problem.

Your password should be something private and lemme ask, how many devices are you using when login in to your account? Maybe you might have used another device or system to login then saved your password and user.
These are the things you need to check before you stop getting access to your account. I prefer you use just one system or device to avoid such from happening again.

Pretty funny situation. After reading all the posts, I got the impression that the OP just decided to draw attention to himself, not at all thinking that people could easily check if the password was previously changed or not. Topic from the category "just to write something"
But the situation now is that the OP has created even more fuss with his account, and people are demanding that he prove if the OP is the real owner or if the cheater is trying to protect himself from future claims.
As a result, always think about what you write about; sometimes innocent stupidity can lead to serious consequences. Grin
Exactly!! The same thoughts was risen in me... the reasons?? I'm yet to know.
Was that account an active account before the passcode got resetted? Cus I haven't been seeing that name around very often.
Maybe OP didn't just wanna seek attention; he also wanted to make publicized the fact that his passcode has been changed, so peeps won't even bother using it against him when they get to realize that for themselves....so he decided to frame a fake story to convince the community beforehand - but, HTF is it even possible to deceive a whole community of gurus like this?...lol

So he finally came, on his own - without being interrogated - to report his ignorance on how passcodes are being managed.... I believe if that's the real owner behind the OP, then he shouldn't be creating lame stories like this.. now answer this; WHO TF HAS AN ACCESS TO YOUR BTT ACCOUNT AND YOUR EMAIL TOO TO HAVE CHANGED YOUR PASSCODE 2 GOOD TIMES BEFORE NOW ??

If someone have access to this your account then the person who did it would already changed the password. When you don't have access to your account, did you check iton the forum if it is online or not because if it is online then that only mean someone did have access to your account. How I see it is that I don't think someone have access to your account because if it did then you wouldn't have been able to use forget password to change the password because if someone did have an access to your account then that person would mostly change the email so that you won't be able get your account through forgot password.

If the OP has claimed a phantom change of password took place yet on the same the day he applied to a signature campaign using an address he has used on at least 8 different occasions while applying for various campaigns, then I cannot see the benefit. If there is another option then that would be interesting to see.

What exactly he thought he would achieve with this thread is the real question now.

As a result, always think about what you write about; sometimes innocent stupidity can lead to serious consequences. Grin

You are right, what would happened to op if couldn't be able to prove himself or herself as people demanded. Any bad effect of what it would results to the account owner? Because i believe op may only get justice if all those things said by some people here are being carried out to sign a message with the said address mentioned earlier by @JollyGood.

So Bpip could not possibly cover up all the logs, or it has a limit to how long it saves security logs for each profile.
BPIP started to scrape security log on March 16, 2018 and that's why the password change that was done by OP in February 2018 is not displayed on BPIP.

See the post made by ibminer on BPIP's thread.

Seclog on BPIP goes back to March 16th, 2018.

After reading this the first thing that came to mind were a couple of recent cases where threads were used to express disappointment at receiving a neutral or negative tag and as a result of that what followed were connections to alt-accounts and farming accounts and more neutral or negative feedback with trust exclusions too.

It could be a possible fabricated story which might later be used to justify a claim of denying it's original involvement in the Plagiarism case

Code:

December 10, 2019, 02:10:01 PM - krishnaverma - password changed

April 18, 2019, 04:11:19 PM - krishnaverma - password reset via email

February 17, 2018, 07:16:43 AM - krishnaverma- password changed
(I'm too lazy to convert it to BBCode, so click to view it)

So Bpip could not possibly cover up all the logs, or it has a limit to how long it saves security logs for each profile.
A good reason to not only rely on one particular tool for research.

I find this hard to believe. And I find it quite a coincidence you post about your password just a few days after I left you a neutral tag about plagiarism from my DT-account.

As already said, no one changed the password at all.
I concur.

Well, the OP used an address today when applying to join a signature campaign. He used an address he has used previously for joining signature campaigns: bc1qalv6lg6qt7g72jx35th694zzfa98gc6d9zm0w5

He should be able to sign this address otherwise he would not have applied to join another campaign with it today therefore in this particular instance would it really matter?

Today when I tried to login, my  old password was not working. Was my account hacked ? Do I need to worry about it.

I was able to reset password as email was not changed.

Can you sign a message using an address you posted a while ago ? You can use the below format  Grin

When I said a while ago I was reffering to before the other password and email changes in 2019. So yeah, would not be impressed if he could sign with the address you mentioned.
He doesn't have to sign, but would be nice to have.

Attention seeking is not out of the question in this wonderful forum of ours because we seem to attract people of all dispositions here  Grin

Whether the OP is doing exactly that or whether he is doing else remains unknown but it seems he applied to join a signature campaign using a previously used BTC address on the same day this thread began.

Pretty funny situation. After reading all the posts, I got the impression that the OP just decided to draw attention to himself, not at all thinking that people could easily check if the password was previously changed or not. Topic from the category "just to write something"

This part of your post got me laughing so hard Grin Grin Grin
I think Op might be regretting wherever they are now for bringing up an unnecessary topic. Now he needs to prove that he is himself and what if he is unable to sign any message?
I always tell people that they shouldn't create a topic when it is obviously not necessary.
