Data Breach

I am getting a message that my password for this site has been compromised by a data leak, my iPhone is telling me to change my password but I can't find anywhere on the site where I can do this. Can someone advise me what has happened and how do I do this?
Thanks

Hi OP

Thanks for getting in touch about this.
Can you email us at [email protected] - we will send you a reset.

You can read more about the iphone warning here - macreports.com/this-password-has-appeared-in-a-data-leak-security-recommendations-on-iphone/ but in the meantime, could we have a screenshot of the popup so that we can check what it says?

For some reason I couldn't post on Mumsnet this morning or see Threads I'm On.
I was repeatedly told I had to join Mumsnet or log in to post.
This just happened overnight.

Last night and post midnight I had no problem posting. This morning I was unable to.
Has there been a security breach ?

It was very odd.

I had that message a couple of weeks ago. I'm guessing there's no password change button because I'm on the app. I'll try on my laptop one day!

I'm on an IPhone and use the app.

Hey there, LadyEloise, thanks for letting us know about this. We aren't aware of anyone else having this issue overnight.

Thank you also for letting us know how you access the site - we'll take a look into what might be going on here.

I had this last week on the app too. I had been signed out for some reason (although it looked like I was still signed in as my watched posts were there but it wouldn't let me comment). I then got the Apple pop up to say the password was in a data breach.

Oh dear

I don't think it's a Mumsnet specific problem. I had the same pop up on other apps.

This is surely a phishing email?
