Attention everyone!

[PXLB]

It has just come to my attention that there's a new script going around that attacks users who (foolishly) use their username as their password.

This simple act leaves the forum open to spam attacks as those accounts are easy to breach.

So if you're using the same password as your username, I must urge you to change your password to something more secure (mix of letters and numbers).

To edit your password please visit this page:

[PXLB]

Huh? What's happening?
Angel, read the post! >.>

If your password to login here, is the same as your username, please change it to something different.

[Royal Rose]

Oh, I didn't.
My username is Royal Rose... but my password is not Royal Rose.

[PXLB]

Oh, I didn't.
My username is Royal Rose... but my password is not Royal Rose.
Then you dont have to worry about it. :)

[Royal Rose]

[babipari]

Whatz this about???

[sweetybee11]

[Daenerys]

Whatz this about???

Well if you read the first post you'd know :) It's pretty useless posting posts with 'what is this thread about?' One might consider it spam. Spam is bad.

My username is not the same as my password. Thinking a good password is easy enough. One that you can remember...

Think of your favourite song title or chorus from a song. For instance 'aint no sunshine when she's gone'. Take the first letter of each word: answsg. Add the birth year of your aunt or uncle, for instance 1960 and you have a very secure password.

Answg60 is a strong password because it has a Capital A, no recognisable word and a number in it.

[BUBBLEsqueak]

Yes, spam is very naughty. But who'd actually do that? It's a bit thick no offence!

[Daenerys]

For a normal pixelbee account, just stick with whatever secure password you think is okay. The worst that can happen if someone hacks your account is that your beebux get spend, your account gets used to spam the forum (and probably get your account banned because of it) and to cause the admin and moderators some annoyance.

Do get a secure password for your account. If not for yourself, than at least for the moderators who will have to clean up the mess if your account gets hacked ;)

[Ashlie]

Okay, Tab.

I would never do that, spamming PIXELBEE.

It would make me mad. o.o

[angelkat288]

My username and password r totally different. Who wuld b stupid 2 actually use their username as the password no offense 2 any1 who did.

[maramadyson]

Why don't you make it an auto when you sign up to have letters and numbers in your password?

[HoneyAngel]

You emailed us all that.
How could we forget?

[SweetBlood]

I Never Do THAT

[HoneyAngel]

This is my OLD password: 58sj73
I changed it!

[SuperJory-[:]

Haha I used to do that but I became more smartical! =DD

[green_panda]

I would never do that.. people could easily hack into your account. I never make the two the same.. so I'm safe (: Yeupp.

[Kissu]

I used to do that too xDD;
When I had no smartical brain :[
I used stupid stuff, like "rainbow" or whatever.
Ahhhhh, good times. <3

[katiebff]

[muningcat]

Its mean to hack peoples accounts. I like know half or more of the passwords to my cousins accounts in websites we go to. (she doesn't have one here though. I push her to, but she hasn't made an account yet.) Oh and I hate to be mean to the people who do this but isn't a tad bit dumb to have the same username and password?

[gatinha4u]

i think that people should never their password the same as their username! But thank you for the alert it is always good to be reminded

[lya2000]

Wow! O.o Thanks for the advice!

Lya2000:p

[just]

Your freaking me out now!!!!!!!!

[just]

it's a bit scary the way you said it!!!!!!

[just]

but thanx for the alert!!

[just]

Maybe those people uses their username as their password because it's easier for them to remember.

[MoonMaiden]

wow it sux that people do tha kind of stuff. why can they just leave everone alone?

[An cafe]

It's an easy way to remember it but it mean's the risk of being hacked :/ ..but why would someone wanna hack on a site like this?

[catlady08]

Maybe we need to change passwords,

[sailor_mew99]

huh?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

[midori2]

Ok!! I don't have to worry about it either. But why do people do that? it makes no sense!

[PXLB]

This issue has been fixed with the last forums update.
You no longer can use the same password and username.
