    Are any of you guys being asked to change your password in P-Bucket following an upgrade?

    Yep, it made me change mine, I dont have anything on there thats not somewhere else anyway, so although I dont want anyone messing with my account, it wouldn't be the end of the world.

    My bank account might be a bit different, unless of course someone was putting money IN.:D

    Just caught this, do you not think it's because of GC's new stuff?


    Also, think of who owns what now - you think you are in a site owned by a certain body but it is part of a bigger thing, like banks etc.

    I would like the first question answered here more than anything.

    cheers

    :thumb:I just kept opening P-B from Favourites and now it's letting me in no problem!

    I was just a little concerned as to why an 'inprovement' couldn't cope with the stored info:confused:....

    :) I know that sometimes you are asked to use another password allot these days if it is a short one.... To try & keep them secure they need to be 10 letters or over usually...:thumb: I always open p-bucket from favourites Pal, just like allot of other places I go..:)

    I've just been to check and I was asked to change (which I did) but at the bottom you have the choice of 'No Thanks' or Save so it doesn't sound compulsory.

    I have two accounts with PB because of the number of photos I post and I got the message ... closed it, reopened it and didn't get the message. I keep both GC and PB on my desktop logged in at all times.

    To answer something Marley said I have a 7 letter password for PB and a 3 letter one for GC, both all letters no numerics.

    I was asked and said "No Thanks". Aother window of a different colour and size popped up, asked the same, I clicked it off, and then a third one, again different size and colour from the other two, clicked that one off too.

    Then I asked a friend and she said it was OK to do as they asked, she had on both of her accounts. When I went back, they didn't ask any more! Perhaps next time.

    Just out of curiosity I tried and got the same thing but it worked OK after I ckicked No Thanks, but I think Flickr is miles better and always use that anyway.
