    My main account was presumably hacked

    My main account "bgreen" has been compromised I believe. I had my pass and log in info saved on my comp so I rarely had a need to use my password until I go to log in a couple days ago. Notice that my password isn't being accepted so I reset it. Today I come on to visit the forum and all of a sudden I'm logged out and my password doesn't work again. So I change it, and go to make a post asking for guidance and as soon as I hit submit I'm logged out. I don't know whats going on could use some assistance.

    So is the problem fixed?

    it seems like it took longer but it still happened is there a Skype or email I can use to communicate with mods since responding will require a process like this all the time

    A little confused about what exactly is happening? Account has 2FA enabled. Email has not been altered. What exactly is the issue?

    I go to log into my account...

    my known password now doesn't work...

    I recovery my account by changing password...

    I even go as far as using 2FA...

    minutes, hours, later...

    I get that message.

    Seems like the cookies are not being saved. Do you have the "Remember Me" checkbox marked when you log in? Is the browser you use set to delete cookies when you close the tab/window? Are you using Incognito mode? That's not really a problem on our end, but on your machine.

    Only reason why I question that theory is why would my password keep being changed?.... I just opened up a new browser doing the whole log in / recover password / 2FA process. Something weird happened when I went through the 2FA process, I got a screen telling me the ip address i'm using isn't recognized by my account? what would cause this? and surely it wouldn't be due to simply using a different browser.

    I've always used safari to handle mpgh stuff and now am currently using chrome.

    Linking the other two admins for this, as I don't know what could be causing it.

    Check the "Remember Me" option while logging in, it will not log you out. As far as your password changing, you are probably mistyping it.

    If you're not mistyping it, someone may be recovering your account to change the password, possibly your email is compromised, or your friend/family member is just messing with you. It's hard to determine strictly from the information you provided, but I'm 99.999999% sure it's not on our side.

    I live by myself so i doubt the friend/family approach. messaged you on skype to discuss further.
