Account/Password sharing

We have noticed an increase in the amount of members logging into other member's account. (Yes we can track this)

It started off pretty slow. We'd get one alert every few weeks. Now we are getting members who seem to be sharing their account on a weekly basis.

I'm not sure whether member's know that their account is being logged into but the other members or not. I can only assume that a member gives out their password, so another can help them.

However, I would change your password, after this. We are getting member's who seem to have multiple accounts, or they are logging into other member's accounts.

While you may think this is ok, as you have nothing on your account, it's not advised to give out your password. Chances are, you; like most members, use the same password for multiple sites. So one could easily access other secured sites you visit.

Also, while it's great a person can help you out know, like human nature, terms of a friendship can change. You don't want anyone messing with your account if such a thing happens.

Changing your password is simple. Go to your USERCP... there's a link on the left side.

Or you can go here:

Thanks for keeping your passwords secure.
