I've just logged into someone else's account, using my own details?

I have no idea how this happened?

I logged in using my usual email address and password, went to TIO and realised I hadn't been on any of the threads in question and the account settings were completely different Confused

Then I realised it was someone else's account? Needless to say I logged straight out. I entered the same details again and now I'm back as me.

For the record, I'm not a name changer and have never heard of the person who I logged in as (see attached pic).

OK, I've been force logged out at last, but got back in via email on phone without password again.

I have now been logged out. I can use the App, but can't log back in on the laptop on Google Chrome.

Just rtft and went to click onto something else and found I was logged out - needed to put in my email but the site remembered my password so didn't need to put that. Changing password now!

I was logged in, I went to post something, it said I was logged out. I wasn't, it then let me post.

I then looked at another thread and it said I was logged out, I had to log in again.

I am still me though. Grin

I have a padlock.

I've just been logged out and had to log in again with email and password.

Is there going to be a forced password change at some point, or do we not need one?

I'm going to change it anyway mind.

I just got logged out for no reason! That's never happened. I'm surprised i remembered the password. So.ething strange going on today!

Lougle · 07/02/2019 10:00

Ok, I just tried to reply, and at that point only, it asked me to log in (although I was already logged in according to the top box). I did need my password.

I just got logged out on phone browser. I did need my password to get back in but I felt nervous about the security.

I was just able to log in with just my email address too.

Seriously MN this is a complete fuck up.

Still not logged out. On phone, not app.

I have logged myself out and back in now. No password required, just my email.

@DrinkFeckArseGirls

I just got logged out, asked to log in - I inly put in my email address and hey presto I’m in - no password needed?!

Hello, did you log in with Google?

@Lilymumsnet @Soniamumsnet If you don't have anyone on your staff who is experienced at dealing with data breaches yet, I'd call the ICO helpline now, or a data specialist. If this is true, you've likely just made the situation worse, rather than better, and you're getting close to the end of your "grace period".

You really may well be better to take down the forums for a few hours than to get fined 4% of your annual global turnover.
