Unlikely, because he managed to reset his password via mail (don't think phishing sites will do that).
In any case, there is just one password change in the seclog and OP has confirmed that it is him. So he has a new (and hopefully secure) password.

I don't disagree that it would be like that, but OP may have potentially closed the tab and then manually typed in "bitcointalk" to go to the official site rather than any phishing site. It's within the realm of possibility, so amuse me.

I still think it's to do with the typing, though.

(There is another possibility, where you went to a site that was a mirror of bitcointalk.org [a phishing site, not the real site]. Can you check your history to make sure that this is not the case?)

That's a lot of question marks there, even though you're saying sentences

Capslock is a possibility.

You probably just mistyped the password, or forgot it. Get a password manager - that'll make things much simpler.

🍓 BALIK Never DM First

I log out my account last 1 hour ago (In my personal PC) and after I try to log in again my password account was not working? I tried my password 10x but still not working, I'm confused why my password account not working even though I did not change it? So I requested a new password in my email and after I changed my password, I checked the security log and I did not see that my account got change password twice? only one after I change my password?

So what do you think happened?
