My wife had the same (using FF I use Chrome), worrying thing for her was the padlock in the address bar where they wanted her to change her password had a red line through it, so wondering has MSE been hacked?0 -

As eagle-eyed regular forum members have noticed already, we're asking you all to update your passwords. You should be doing this regularly for your own peace of mind.
Some hadn't been updated for some time and we want to make sure you change them regularly.
Thanks for your patience. Have a great weekend.

I've never changed my password on here and I'm sure I've been a member for at least 10 years, so this is definitely a new thing
** Update - yup, now that I've posted I can see that I joined in Sept 2006 and I've definitely had the same password all that timeBest win ever: Trip to the Galapagos Islands in 20100 -

Phew! I'm relieved it's all OK and legit. It's all well and good MSE having a good reason to do this, but it made me stop and consider. I mean, if the site had been hacked, who knows what nasties might've happened by entering our passwords. I wish MSE would warn us first. It would've been a lot less scary that way.

I am who I'm meant to be
I'm not scared to be seen
I make no apology
THIS IS ME!
