Hi all,
Most of you are currently getting a notification that you've reached the maximum number of log in attempts, and that you need to fill in a security question to continue. Unfortunately something or someone is trying to guess members' passwords, fails, then continues to the next member. This is very annoying but there is nothing I can do about it.
However I did set new requirements for passwords and am forcing all members to create a new, more safer password that is more difficult to guess. I highly recommend that you choose a password that is both easy to remember and hard to guess. A good idea is to make a sentence and use letters, symbols and numbers for each first letter.
For example:Benno's Figures Forum is the greatest forum in the world for 1/72 scale miniatures
Then take the first letter/symbol/number for each word...
Benno's
Figures
Forum
is
the
greatest
forum
in
the
world
for
1/
72 $cale
miniatures
And you get a super safe password:BFFitgfitwf172$mOf course I wouldn't use that exact password.
In general it's a good idea to create more safe passwords, as hackers are getting better at breaking into systems, anywhere.
A more safer password will make it practically impossible for them to break into your account.
