Changed my password but...
 

Hi all
After getting a notification from "haveibeenpwned" (which I legitimately registered with a while ago) it seems I have been. This was along with 700 million other passwords/addresses so i'm not too worried, but still decided to change my password.
I logged into myvm and did the necessary. Got an e-mail informing me of the successful change to both the account in question and the master account. Trouble is it hasn't changed, my phone can still access mail with the old password and webmail doesn't recognise the new one but works with the old!
Am I missing something obvious or could it just be a glitch. :confused:

Just created a post on this leak, I have 4 emails exposed!!!

At least there are 770 million of us, so safety in numbers perhaps.


As of this morning I can't access the e-mail account with either the old or new password. So frustrating ! I tempted to try the forgotten password option or try and change it again via the account but i feel like i've hit rock and don't want to carry on digging.

Thanks for the heads up as my VM email is on the list and compromised, so I will be looking to change the sites logins I use with it.

As it's currently broken I'm thinking of binning mine and creating a new one, trouble is I can't remember how many sites and services are linked to it. :erm:

Just spent half an hour trawling through all my emails to see who has contacted me in the last few months. I've a lot of sites and services to change my details with.

I wouldn't use an ISP email with anything these days.

Re: Changed my password but...
 

Agreed, i'm planning to migrate everything eventually to gmail or proton mail.

Re: Changed my password but...
 

Can you let me know when you get this sorted before i attempt a password change please.

Re: Changed my password but...
 

I certainly will.



Currently I can get emails on my phone (old password), webmail is intermittent (old password) and Thunderbird says password is wrong whether I use the old or new one. So the password change definitely didn't work.

Re: Changed my password but...
 

Ignoring the Thunderbird problem try changing the email password again.

Re: Changed my password but...
 

Well I might do, but currently i can still get my mails to that addy on my phone, and sometimes on webmail, so i'm a bit reluctant to potentially mess it up even more. The whole VM e-mail system does seem to be a bit crocked.

Hi Snoopz
Finally got it working via the "forgotten password" option. I used the same new password as my previous attempt so the system hadn't remembered it. ;)

Re: Changed my password but...
 

Awesome, presently i am going through all the places i think i have created an account on and changing passwords, it's taking awhile as i have to go back 20 years!!!

Adding what i want to keep to Lastpass password manager and closing what i can after changing the password.

Re: Changed my password but...
 

I waded through a years worth of e-mails to the addy to find who had contacted me, changed most of the important ones but got bored with it in the end.
