I've just had to
Log in too on the app but it wouldn't recognise my
Password so
I reset it on the desktop version and now all is well.

Just had this too, thought I was going mad. Was able to reset my password though.

UnsolvedMystery · 18/08/2015 21:30

I just had problems logging in too. It had logged me out (it's doing that a lot lately) and wouldn't recognise my password (which I KNOW was right), but I was able to reset it so all fine now.

I had half of this problem. Found myself logged on and was completely unable to log back in, said username/ password was wrong but both definitely correct.

Luckily the email to reset the password came through and once I changed the password I could then log in normally.

Not sure what on earth is going on

howtorebuild · 18/08/2015 21:34

Mn was hacked and a few people had armed police turn up. See Justines post or the Telegraph for further details.

I've had this, I've reset my password umpteen times tonight as instructed but just cannot get in, sent an email asking if there were problems with the account but apparently it's fine. Gave up and set up a new account in the end. Bloody annoying.

christmasisnearlyhere1 · 18/08/2015 21:36

i dont facebook,but i done it through my sons google

I had to reset my password too - has MN been hacked?

Shinyshoes123 · 18/08/2015 21:39

Me too ... I've even contacted MNHQ. They replied very swiftly but still didn't work ... I've now RE REGISTERED but I've lost all my stuff
I was Shinyshoes2 btw and before that ( same thing happened ) Shinyshoes

PerfectlyPosed · 18/08/2015 21:42

I had been logged out on the app and the browser. Requested password reset and logged back in fine. Wonder what's going on?

SaulGood · 18/08/2015 21:43

There are so many other threads on site stuff, including the stickied one linked which explains exactly why EVERYBODY is having a problem with logging in.

They're working really hard to fix this. Sadly, a few logging in problems are nothing to the rl problems this hacking has caused.

StillFrankie · 18/08/2015 21:43

ah read it now

christmasisnearlyhere1 · 18/08/2015 21:44

I couldn't log on with my phone or laptop, had to reset password. Very odd indeed.
