I tried to log in the forums today and I got the following message:
I followed instructions and was able to log in normally after that, but I would like to know if it was an admin who did that or whether someone tried to get into my account.
Thank you.

✭✭Same thing happened to me also. I'm wondering if this happened to people who bought the new explorer costume?"We have found a cave, but I don't think there are warm fires and friendly faces inside."0 -

I didn't buy it (previewed it and decided I didn't like it enough to buy it), so hopefully that eases your mind.3 -

No costume bought or anything, just randomly forced to change it.

✭Just happened to me. I assume it's some sort of routine update you're info kind of thing.
For all of you anyway.
For me that's all just a cover up because they're really just out to get me.2 -

✭Same here, I replied in a few discussions that were closed soon afterwards. Hmm...

✭✭Happened to me too, thought i`d got banned.. (I`m innocent *kitten eyes*)
Then thought maybe the forum server got compromised for a short moment since i swear i saw the "secure lock" icon be the unsecure page version.
Was tired though so not 100% sure lol
Perhaps was just routine thing.
Or they are preparing to purge soon all who had that happen as troublemakers.

✭✭✭✭✭I got this too and has not played much the last days after event got canceled, just some quests.
Question does you have the same password on forum and the game?
I had and got this, logged into the game and had to use the old password.
I always assume forum and game accounts was linked.Grinding just make you go in circles.

Not at all. For many of us our PW has been the same for the game, website and the forums. When I changed my PW on the website it changed it for the forums and the game.
This action today was merely forcing those with their password linked to everything to set a different password for the forums without out bothering to inform us. Such an unprofessional means to handle something. Sad sign of Matt Firor's management skills.0 -

That is simply not true. I have had different passwords for my game account and forum account for years, and still had my forum password reset today. It's not the first time this has happened either. I remember the same thing happening maybe 2 or 3 years ago. Agreed on the lack of professionalism regarding letting us know what's going on, though.Edited by daemonios on November 17, 2019 12:19AM1 -

✭✭I just got this too.... and haven't replied much to anything at all in the last week... only reading mainly... sooooooo.... I'm kind of worried about the security of these forums, or if there is a disgruntled admin at work.Far too many characters to list any more.0 -
Path✭✭✭✭✭Same.
No clue as to the costume thing. Just tried to login.
Did login to the game around 8:00PM Eastern. No trouble.
Forums, odd.

You are required to reset your password as a security precaution to address a potential security issue in their forum software. Please be aware that ESO forum accounts are completely separate from your ESO game account, so your existing credentials can still be used to access the game. To log into your forum account, simply go to the sign in screen and reset your password. As soon as we receive more information from the vendor, we'll pass it on.1
