Default Data Breach

After my last post on 5/22 I tried logging in and it said there was a data breach and I needed to change my password. Well for about 4 days I have tried to keep changing it, tried to even use my Gmail account which I never use so I didn’t have a password to verify my info… Anyway has anyone else had this problem? I thought I would try again today and way finally able to get throw to change my password.😊

that is odd. I am all right here but am getting strange emails on one of my accounts that I know are not good ones. I never open them. Hope you stay logged in!!

I'm not able to stay logged in any longer. I used to be logged in all the time, but I now have to log in every time I open the QB forum. I figured it was a change the moderators made. It's no big deal for me , but it just started happening a few days ago.

I don't think there was a data breach. my Admin/contact at the parent company would have let me know.

the login issue could be related to your browser settings regarding cookies. if it's set to delete cookies when you close it then you would need to log in every time.

Same here. It is a bother but nothing more. I do know that there was a significant Microsoft update/change of some sort the beginning of April and since then I have to log into Facebook, YouTube and here every single time. I was supposing it was just the next level of "security".

I have always stayed logged in until recently. Now it asked me if I want to use my keyboard or my user and pass that pops up. I used to used that all the time but haven’t for away. It’s been have using my keyboard as I’m using now. I even had this problem on my computer. I haven’t logged out in a long time. I guess it just logs me out. How do I get it to keep me logged in?
None the less I’m glad to be back.😊

I don't think it is a good idea to still be logged onto the internet when not actively using. I always log off the internet when done. Too many hackers working overtime.
