I tried to log on the forums and I was forced to change my password again, just like we had to not too long ago because of the enemy trying to hack into our accounts. Anyone else having this issue?
Discussion
I've had to make a new account after it failed to use my old password and older account.
I did awhile ago, had no issues.
Active TranslatorYes, yesterday it asked me to change the password again and if I didn't do it I couldn't continue posting, I don't know if it's a bug or the forum is being attacked again.
Honorary TranslatorSame here
I think that HP HC did mention that it is going to be mandatory, to change your pw every month since the breach.
However I dont like to do this every month. Im barely used to my new pw and I already had to change it.

Same, as well as proton not letting mails from the forums get through
On this note, are there better alternatives to use instead of protonmail?

Well that's a relief. I thought someone was trying to hack into my account and it forced a password reset or something.

As others said, I believe it is set to be regularly recurring.

What do you mean? I could be wrong, but I do not believe the forum's webserver can handle emails. For account recovery, it is best to email HPZM directly.

Email HPZM about this, especially if your old account is the only thing which others can trust you by.
Everyone should get a password manager so they can easily use and quickly update secure passwords. If you have to remember them individually, then it is easier to fall into bad habits, such as repeating passwords or making them too short.
I forgot the new password I had set so I just made a new account. I'm going to be known as General Yeager from now on. I was previously known as Jack only. But the full name is Jack Yeager.
Yeager (Jager ) means Hunter in German.

Up to around April 2021 I was still receiving mails from the forums whenever a topic was added on Important Articles as well as there being a function on Board Preferences to get notified by mail. And when trying to change the password by using the "Forgot your password" it asks for an e-mail.

I like it.
