mumsnet password reset - New email today (14th)

sidsnot

Just a note to all those changing your Mumsnet password . The email link they send you only gives you a 30 minute window to click and change so it would be best to check your emails straight after requesting to save you having to go back and do it all again.

Yes, just did mine, then signed in, and it was fine.

I just wish all companies who may have been affected did this, so we know it's safe to change our passwords.

I had one of these messages from Tumblr.

ETA: Useful info for LastPass users (will go and see whether Roboform has same) To LastPass Users: Click on the Security Check in your vault and LastPass will alert you to your sites that are vulnerable as well as what action we recommend taking.

thanks jess :T

I had one today and managed to change my password with no problem

I didn't go through the email to change it though, just in case, but it is legit.

This is from the Roboform website...

Q - How Does the Heartbeat Vulnerability Affect RoboForm?

A - It doesn't.

RoboForm servers use OpenSSL ver 1.0.0 and 0.9.8 which are not affected by the Heartbleed Bug.

Q - What should you do next?

A - As far as RoboForm is concerned, there is nothing more you need to do.

However, this bug has been out there for a long time and it's possible that sites you regularly visit would be susceptible the vulnerability.

You can check whether or not sites are susceptible using this tool: http://filippo.io/Heartbleed/

We recommend you generate new passwords for any website in which you store sensitive information, such as email, banking, etc. However, you should wait until these sites have updated their OpenSSL version and replaced their certificates with new certificates being issued on 4/8/2014 or later.

I don't think then, CompsAlex, Roboform has the same functionality that LastPass has with the 'Security Check' site function in the program. As I'm guessing they would have mentioned it in their press release.

Just read Mumsnet's latest email.

They've extended the email link time because of delays in people receiving their link, so it's now 48 hours to use the link.
