If you have a weak password... Options

[Baronius]

Dear registered users!

Someone is trying to guess the passwords of our user accounts, and has been trying to log in to many accounts for several days (trying out many password combinations).

If you think that you have a weak password (see below), please change it to a stronger one.

Such organized attacks are relatively common on the internet (e.g. such unauthorized attempts happen on all other IE modding forums as well), so there is nothing to worry about if you don't have a weak password.

Your password is weak if it can be guessed easily. You can find several guides on the internet about how to make up strong passwords. For example, your password is weak if it consists of one dictionary word only (e.g. 'table', 'hello', 'Keyboard') or a combination of dictionary words (e.g. 'HappyLawyer'). Of course, it shouldn't contain your username either (e.g. 'Baronius112').

I suggest that your BWL forum password should be at least 8-10 characters long, should contain lower- and uppercase letters, should contain digits, and should contain one or more special characters (such as underscore, period, colon etc.). You can find more detailed guides on the internet about strong passwords.
