    I'm guessing it's precautionary in relation to something at their end as hubby just got one and he hasn't used his account in ages, doesn't enter comps and doesn't authorise any sites to access his account.

    I saw a message from Lakeland on Facebook today, and they have swept the passwords so customers need to go to the website and set up a new one.

    It may be that there's been an attack on a server and companies are being extra cautious.

    Me too, thought it was a phising thing so just deleted it but had to set up a new password when I tried to log into twitter later on.

    Very strange :think:

    this happened to me 8 times yesterday, I was running out of new passwords to come up with, seems to have been ok from 8pm last night for me (fingers crossed) from when I unauthorised an Amazon APP.

    I had this happen twice to me on Monday!!

    Reset passwords via Twitter (not their email link), ran Norton scan just incase but that was fine. So far so good Ive had the same password for 36 hours.
  • Just got the same warning from Twitter even though I don't use any apps. It's a genuine Twitter email.
