Password updates

[starseed galaxy auticorn]

I guess it's a good idea to make accounts more secure... but I just worry about when I log onto my iPad and forgetting my password. I wouldn't want to go through the password recovery system for because it's harder to do on an iPad Pro. x| Like, I don't mind having a different password for PC... it's only a matter of knowing what it is, seeing as I'm highly forgetful (but that's not PC's fault, and I know this lol).

TBH, when I did the password thing like asked... I couldn't remember my password even then. I had to go through the password recovery. >< Hopefully, my current password will be easy to remember for me this time. I may not even have changed it when I registered with this account. Possibly because I forgot or something.

I had to change my password like 4 times last night, but its working now! Yay!

Im glad it worked out after a while because i was getting a bit worried.

You guys should probably send an email to all Pokecommunity users about this.

This, sending email notice is normal procedure in cases like this.

fwiw you can still use your old password, just change it to something different first, then you can set it back manually.

Yes but it isn't recommended for security reasons. Some software (e.g. Zen Cart) even prevent that by storing your previous password(s) so you'll just get an error message if you try that.

it was a pain in the ass for me bc it kept giving me errors bleh so i had to reset my password through email and then make a new one. it's not too different from my old one so i can remember it easily.

I was only aware of this after I assumed the worst and did multiple scans on my computer and changed multiple passwords. Mass Email notification of some sort to all members would of been great and saved me a couple hours of my time.

Is the way it says one's password is out of date just a default message for required changes, or will periodic changes be required going forward?

I was told someone was trying to get into my account a few days ago... Is this the reason for the change?

I've been having to do a new password everytime I get on the site it's annoying as hell already

I came here just to wish someone happy birthday (I'm still on hiatus though) but I had to report here that I got the "invalid password" message as well despite recently changing mine, so here I had to come and be forced to change it again.

I can get why you are doing this though, since it's for protection reasons.

I had to do at least 2 times that, but now the login was normal. Whew. Hopefully your login is normal too. :)
