Password expiry ???

[IanB]

Same happened to me.

OK, we have been experiencing a bit of spamming related to sleeper bots emerging and using the same password repeatedly. That has now been caught and also impacts those who use the same password regardless but may themselves have been hacked. We have had some of these already.

Password renewals are now 6 monthly as well.

TG Admin is trying to protect you from being blocked across a number of levels.

Thanks for the explanation Acorn. I did do a search prior to posting to see if there was any announcements re this but there were none.

4087 days on one password.. that's like 11 years and a bit.... where did the time go....

Yes, time certainly flies. Not sure how you slipped under the radar though. I think you have to update your password once a year.

maybe I just used the same one every time.. but to be honest I don't ever remember being asked to change it before...
