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

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.

Are you referring to this account you are currently using in this post? Then you mentioned that you tried to change your password and you couldn't change it either, right? I'm just wondering, did you try to change the password but couldn't? so you have access to your email?

if your account is hacked, for sure the email you use here on the forum will also be susceptible to being taken or stolen, I hope you don't have access to your email either, but it looks like you have access to your email too, which means you just forgot the password you made for sure.

It's natural for you to change old password and forget to memorize or store it somewhere else, maybe after some while you may want to login with old password and it happens no access was given to you. Since you can't remember anymore you might thought someone else did but you initiated it and never used it again, I think something similar happened to me when I was actively involving myself on social media.

I changed my recent password to a better strong password thinking to secure my account more better and I didn't enable autosave password the day I wanted to login to my account I wasn't given that access so I thought my account was hacked what I did was changed password again reset it through mail.
But logic there is, when account is hacked and password changed the hacker won't leave the account with same mail probably they would include another mail to enable the original owner to completely lose access to the account.

But then the case gets more interesting if the OP failed to sign the message from the bitcoin address he's used on the forum so far.

I support that the OP should change his password periodically for security purposes - but while he has said it was hacked and his account was posted by someone else without his knowledge, then he deserves to be asked to sign the message. It could be that the account is controlled by a different user or the hacker posted this for him - so who knows?

Yeah.. Absolutely correct I also support on this, op should sign a message to claim back his account otherwise the account is at risk of getting tag, to clearly verify the action was carried out by op message should be signed. I didn't even came to think about this as well, though was using my past experience to give an example of how it happens to me then.

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?

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

-----BEGIN BITCOIN SIGNED MESSAGE-----
My account krishnaverma is OK and I have no more issues. The current date is
-----BEGIN SIGNATURE-----

-----END BITCOIN SIGNED MESSAGE-----

I second this

Just to be sure that the person behind the account is the original owner and not some new person trying to play around without minds that he forgot the password, yet they are just changing ownership. I think it would be more than welcome that OP signs a message from an old bitcoin address he has posted in the past, like this one

If someone has changed your password before you did, then you should receive an email notification about the password change. But some user findings prove that maybe you just forgot your password or some of your keyboard keys are not working, but to increase your account security in the future then follow some of the above mentioned advice.

Don't forget, sign the message from your bitcoin address to make it easier for you to recover your account if in the future you get hacked or lose your account for some other reason.

Sinbad Mixer: Mix Your BTC Quickly

Logs show that your password has been changed only once, which I assume was done by you. Based on that, it is unlikely that someone hacked your account. I think you just simply forgot your password and have been repeatedly entering it incorrectly. If someone had access to your account, they would likely change not only the password but also the associated email address making it much more difficult for you to recover it on your own, Because In order to recover your account you may need to provide additional details and verify your staked bitcoin address if it's quoted and it would take a while.

So long story short, It is most likely that either you have forgotten your old password or you remember it but consistently mistype it (possibly due to keyboard issues or forgetting a word or a few characters).

krishnaverma, don't take pressure. Since you are currently accessing the account, I will say create a strong password, if you need then change the email address too. The devices you are using, you can reset the devices too. Other than all these, you can not do anything else.

Quote from: acroman08 on June 20, 2023, 11:23:09 AM

anyway, I still suggest OP change his email just in case it has been compromised, better to be safe than not.

You already had one of my many ideas 😉

This cannot be a hacking attempt because somebody attempting to hack your account would not be so stupid as to not change the email and password. My Facebook account was previously hacked, and the hacker made no mistake in changing the Email address, which is how I lost the account. It's possible you forgot your password or mistyped it; this happens to me all the time, especially when I'm in my beast typing mode and typing as quickly as I can. No need to worry, I don't believe it's a hack attempt. simply be extra cautious with your passwords and how you keep them, or better yet, change your email address to be secure. Just as a member previously advised, you shouldn't save your password on any browser because anything that is online is accessible to anyone.

As already said, no one changed the password at all.
If the password had been changed, it should have been displayed on BPIP and Security log. All password changes are reported there.

Sometimes it happens that we when are trying to login with the password we enter some wrong keywords that might also display the error because it's not visible to us and we have to double check it or the case might be he has forgotten his password and now he was able to change it.Moreover if someone has access to his account the security log would detect password change and he would have not been able to login on the forum again with the email.

it's probably what most likely happened, but I am curious, OP mentioned that someone other than him made a post on his account when he wasn't able to access it, I wonder which post/s are the ones that aren't his.

@OP you can also change your email just in case you are worried whether your email has been compromised or not.

If i am not wrong, i think you got it wrong because his password was changed in 2019 and at that time someone made posts in his absence, not now. So if you thought the hacker changed password and made posts now then no, AFAIK, there was no post was made this time and as op said, when in previous time, then posts were made.

I just reread his post again several times, and you are right, I misunderstood it, I thought the unwanted posts were made recently when he had "no access" to his account. thanks for clarifying that.

anyway, I still suggest OP change his email just in case it has been compromised, better to be safe than not.

As already said above by Faisal2202, no one changed your password. Most probably you had forgotten your password and you entered a wrong password.
Your password was changed via your email address today which was done by yourself and as displayed above in the image posted by Nwada001 from BPIP, the last time your password was changed before that was around 4 years ago.

Are you copy-pasting your password and how complicated is your password if you follow the right security in creating your password, then it is a combination of small letters, big letters, special characters, spaces, and numbers and because of this, you may have mistyped some of the letters because your keyboard could be malfunctioning.
This was my case when I cannot log in.

But if you think that this is not the case then you are right in changing your password, if there's an intrusion you are lucky that the email was not changed.

But do an investigation if you think that there's an intrusion.

The security log and BPIP show the password was changed by yourself.

If you check my IP page and see no strange IP in the last 30 days, I don't think something was changed with your account. Probably you got problems with your keyboard, caplock and the likes.

You got access to your account but now, you must check that did you stake any Bitcoin message and address in the forum?

It will be part of your information to prove account ownership for account recovery later if you will no longer able to access your email and reset password via email.

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.

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.

What was the error you saw when you entered the password, incorrect or any other?

As everyone says no trace of password change and I doubt any hack attempt made because if they do they usually don't let you to have the old email which can be used to reset the password anytime when you want.

I think you have been using the forum in always logged in, but remember when you logout the account from one device it logout from every device where the account is currently logged in, so don't forget to manage your passwords wisely.

Since you still have access to the account, I think you should rather create a new email, change the email of the account and reset your password before you will be totally compromised.

OP has already changed the password via email.
