PSA: Is your password strong?

Postby Robert » Tue Dec 29, 2015 9:59 am

I just logged in after a bit away and got sent to a captcha verify page because of apparently a number of invalid login attempts.

Only thing is I auto fill my password so it hasn't been me making the bad attempts.

Is anyone else getting the captcha redirect? Might want to make sure you have a strong password regardless.

Hi Everyone,

It does look like some password cracking attempts took place. I've fixed up the forum so legit users should no longer be getting that annoying captcha. Make sure your passwords are strong, forum rate-limits should protect your account :)

Happy Flying!

problem is people can try logging in using our forum name because it doesn't use our email to login and emails are usually kept private.

I also had a captcha one day and it made me wonder who is trying to get in?
