Password Expired Notice ???

[WRUE951]

Anyone else getting a Password Expired Notice when reviewing the latest Repeater updates just sent?   I'm getting the notice even though I am logged in.     Looks a bit suspicious

No. Sounds like you're using the wrong browser. Use Firefox with Ublock Origin and Ghostery Add-ons and you won't have to put up with that crap.

Yes, we’ve been talking about it for a couple days in the section of the forum dedicated to this site.

Another quirk to the oddities here..      Now days its hard to tell if you are getting hit with a malware attempt to steel passwords.   I remember a bunch of people at work a year ago getting similar notices from Microsoft.  Turned out that was an attempt to steel peoples usernames and passwords.    I actually went to my profile here and changed my password that route and the notice went away

I just received this today it's getting very annoying I was tempted to change my password but thought otherwise lucky I didn't because I tried again to log in with my current password and was able to use my current password to login. Do anyone know how to stop these notices from popping up?

Yes, but you asked how to stop those notices that appear at the upper level and the only way to do that is to change your password at the MyGMRS level.

Just returned from out of country travel and got the same smack...  Was concerned but I change it....

I haven't had to change my password ever since I joined the group and now, I'm not sure why we all off a sudden we need to?

I don’t know. Only Rich can answer that question.

Go to your membership account and change it from there if you worry this is a information grab from a 3rd party trying to steal your information.

 

I changed mine through the pop up and so far nothing nefarious has happened.

There was a fairly serious data breach not long ago.  One of the other forum I'm on put that on the opening screen to force folks to change their passwords.

Kind of a weird notice. I’m curious what the time out factor is set at..  I’ve been here close to four years and that was a first.  I went to my profile and changed it there and used the same password.

This affected everyone and I don’t believe it was related to our length of membership.
