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).

Not logged out either. MacBookPro, Safari.

So it didn't ask for your MN password at all, Drink? OMFG

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?!

Well that's worrying, especially since someone upthread said when they were logged in as another user they had access to their email address...

I haven't been logged out either
Safari iPad

@LilyMumsnet That sorted my problem. Thanks 😊

SadnessAndDespair · 07/02/2019 09:46

still logged in - using firefox on my laptop. This is a disgrace and just for once I am hoping the Daily Fail picks it up!

whyameyehere · 07/02/2019 09:46

I've not been logged out on any of my devices

IceRebel · 07/02/2019 09:43

Has anyone been logged out?

Also people are mentioning an email, I haven't received an email.

WhatTheNightBrings · 07/02/2019 09:43

How long for log out? I'm using Samsung internet browser on my phone.

When are you sending out an email to tell users about the breach?

OhYouBadBadKitten · 07/02/2019 09:43

I've not been logged out yet, safari, ipad.
I'm astonished that the site wasn't locked down after multiple reports came in.

RepealTheGRA · 07/02/2019 09:43

I only ever use from my phone, I’ve not been logged out and have not received any emails.

Is my data OK?

How long will it take for the forced log out to work its way through?

I haven't been logged out either.

Chrome, laptop, desktop.

No, I wasn't logged out either. Personal data breaches can be reported here:

"I have not been logged out, either.

Firefox on desktop."

Same here.

butterflymum · 07/02/2019 09:33

Am logged in as myself, but minutes ago, this page was giving:

AnchorDownDeepBreath · 07/02/2019 09:33

We have forced logged everyone out.

I'm not logged out - not on my browser or the app (although I appreciate you've just said the app won't be logged out).

If you think this was caused by a recent change that has been reversed, are you treating people getting incorrect notifications as a separate issue? The new namechange ability seems a world of pain, too...

Dipyalocus · 07/02/2019 09:33

For about a week now I haven't been able to log in on chrome but can on firefox.

On chrome I put my email in, then put my password in but the log in box isn't clickable.

It's fine on firefox.

I have been in touch with MN Lily and she said you guys were trying to work it out. I've cleared cookies. I just tried again and it's still not working.

Is this related to that? Updates?

FeedMeBooks · 07/02/2019 09:29

Like BernardBlack this was after changing my account.

WhatTheNightBrings · 07/02/2019 09:28

I think maybe tech got logged out.

But I didn't.

FeedMeBooks · 07/02/2019 09:28

I'm not sure it is sorted. On my phone I can see MN homepage but any other page comes up with http 403...access forbidden. So I have not been logged out & get this message when select logout. But can use on this !

7Days · 07/02/2019 09:28

Even last week I was getting thrown off mn on the work wifi network, This site is unavailable.
Don't know if that s any use.

magimedi · 07/02/2019 09:27

I have not been logged out, either.

Firefox on desktop.
