Bill Kuta Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Ever since we've had the new sign-in window this week, whenever I sign in, I get a pop-up message from Chrome that a data breach in a site or app has exposed my password, and that I should change it. Anybody else getting this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joseph Clemson Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 I've just signed out and signed back in to both the main Alamy site and the forum and did not get the same pop up that you are experiencing. Google support confirm that thie is a genuine mesage and provide an explanation for it here. In summary, it suggests that the user name/password combination you are using as been reported as compromised on some website or other (not necessarily the one where you are getting the message. Looks like it warrants further investigation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AM Chang Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Nothing new here, signed in to both Alamy site and the forum (using Firefox). andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cal Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 (edited) put the email address you use to sign in into the website: https://haveibeenpwned.com This is safe and legitimate and is run by Troy Hunt, a well known name in IT security. It will tell you if your email address used to sign in to a service on the web has been subject to a data breach and what that service was. You should not use the same password across multiple sites for this reason. Edited October 1, 2020 by Cal 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Kuta Posted October 1, 2020 Author Share Posted October 1, 2020 I checked on that website, and no problem with the email I use for Alamy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
