I just read an email that was sent to me, it read that i had to click a link to change my password or something, and when i clicked it, it changed my password without notifing me, i got my old one back but does anyone know whats goin on?
Who was the email from Jonathan? It said 'change my password or something"? What was the 'something'? Are you referring to changing your password on caedes.net?
More info might help.
Thanks :=)
*caedes will come along and give more info, but in the meantime, know this - do not EVER click on a link from an email to update your personal information or update your password for any website, no matter how dire sounding the need to do so is. Once activated, if you ever get an e-mail like that, go to the website by typing in the url of their home page, and make whatever changes you may need to from there.
The type of e-mail you describe is a "phishing" e-mail, and generally won't take you to the website you are registered with, but another page made up to look like it, and which will capture your personal info, etc.
Not sure if this is related, but the other day, my password no longer worked. It was remedied easily enough, but seeing how I'm the only one that accesses my account.. it was a bit.. odd to say the least.
Please, even if you don't visit my gallery, check out my "Faves".I've left them intact since day "1", and would like it if every image there got the attention they deserved.
If someone forgets their caedes.net password, they can request that a verification email be sent to the office email address for the account. The email will allow them to verify that they own the email address and if so will reset the password for them. Anyone can request that the email be sent for any account. It only changes the password if you clickon the link in the email though. So if you get an email like this and don't want to change your password, don't click on the link. There is no risk here because the person who requested that the email be sent cannot find out what the password was changed to.
