How do we know?
I tried to reset mine and that did not work, I had to use the one furnished in the email. When I attempted to use the new changed password that met all the new criteria it was rejected as not matching as was my old one. The new password transition is an abysmal failure. Suggestions for the yearly change as directed.
1. Start notifying users 30 days in advance, then 15, then 10 , 7 down to one. 2. Select some statistically sound sample size (90% confidence level should suffice) and contact members to determine if the advance notice emails are being received as this time they were not based on my reading here and my own experience. This should NOT be performed using an automated email. 3. Keep checking with these members after they attempt to change their passwords to determine if successful. 4. Because it worked on the test bed does not mean it works in reality. 5. Follow up and do some planning to insure it is smoother on 6-14-17. The attempt to implement this new system is amateurish and even if one attempts to meet the new standards it still does not work. 6. I did not change email addresses. |

I can live with the password change, stuff happens and it's normally not that difficult.
IF the admin gives us a bit of warning, which they didn't, and IF the system can deal with all the password changes that will happen, which it evidently isn't. Shows a bit to the Peter principle at work here imho Al |

try to login,
When that fails click the forgot password Put in your email address Go take a dump for about 20 mins, or get a coffee Check your email and your temp password should have arrived Login Once in on the far left hit USER CP Then look down about 1/4 of the page and click EDIT EMAIL AND PASSWORD - change your password

Well it took a bit to get done but it's done. I see no need for all this upper lower case symbols numbers and 10 digit stuff. This is not the type of place that needs this type of log in but it is what it is. I'll forget the new password and soon won't be here because of the pain that it is, but I will try and hang in there. Just my 2 cents.

Nice to see the password reset is working again.
None of my financial websites requires as strong a password as WC does today. I didn't realize this site had such serious security concerns.

Oh Happy Day!
I'm logged in with a new password now, so I can quit wasting time as a guest and get back to wasting time as a logged in member!

According to the modadmin, 365 days from now we can all do it again.
Happy Anniversary!!

You are quitting this site because you have to spend 2 minutes changing your password once every 365 days?

Worked fine. Every year is good and it helps to keep the old memory active. Just be glad they didn't re-set the post total to zero. It would take the 365 days to get back to old count....h2l

Changed User name
Didn't receive an email to change password so did as instructed per "forgot password" instructions. Received an email with temp password so all good except my user name was changed from eyeboom to boomerf?????
Ideas? Kind of like a witness protection program! |
