Is this private message from MSE?

My password is unique and that is how it will stay, whether the team think it is secure enough or not is irrelevant, the risks on my password are my risks and as such I do not expect the team to pop along and ask me to change it for them.

I am likely to disappoint them if they do. Imagine a bank telling you your signature needs changing as its too easy to forge.

I wondered whether it was genuine too and also wondered if there'd been a hacking attempt.

Has everyone received this message or just certain posters? My password is not generic or easily guessable in any way.

HI all,

This may seem obvious, but please.

If you received a private message from MoneySavingExpert telling you that you need to change your password please do not announce this in the forums.

Please follow the instructions in the private message and change your password. Thank you.

Because the initial query has been answered, and in the interests of security. This thread is now closed.
