A poster found my password in another forum

[mrgregory29]

Not sure if this is the right forum to post this in. I moderate another forum and one of the posters found my password amongst other posters and has been using my account. Is there a way to hide my password? Thanks.

I don't know if it's so much the forum. It seems like he's getting certain posters.

Did you have a strong password or something simple? What is the password lockout for the forum? Can you guess numerous times without being locked out?

At the time he first found it, it was fairly simple. Then I had the Administrator reset it then I changed it atleast 3 times and he found it again. There is a passowrd lockout after so many times it locks you out for like 30 minutes or something like that.

Forums that havent been updated leave all users open to attack, maybe thats your case

I think that DB was hacked, not whole forum at all. But I think that it is needed to change password. Other guess - the email was hacked. I just want to draw your attention that not only forum should be considered for the reason
