Hi there,

I'm using a password generator to create random passwords for websites (stored
in an external tool - KeePassXC).

Today I noticed that I couldn't log on to bricklink anymore because of a
wrong password. After setting a new password, everything works fine again and
it seems that nothing has been changed (still have my (hopefully) correct inventroy,
etc.).

But still, a bit strange - has my account been hacked?
Does anybody else have/had the same issue recently?

Thanks!

  If you selected the "stay signed in" option when logging in, that error
message will come up after trying to sign in on the same device the next time
you go to login - if you clear cookies and wait a few minutes, it resolves itself,
but this has been an ongoing issue for many years now so I usually just resort
to logging in manually every time I visit the site

Ah, ok, thanks.
But still strange - I'm using "stay signed in" option every time
(have to re-login from time to time, maybe every month or so). Also didn't
change my password for a long time before. Maybe I will take a closer look if
it ever happens again (e.g. logging in with a browser that I normally don't
use for bricklink).

Thanks!
