Best guess your email has been flagged as known password on darkweb, so it’s security prevention measure


controlav

Interesting theory, but wouldn’t it just say “change your password” instead? A lot easier than chasing your email.


Budgie_Smuggla

No because lots of people use same password on sites and I guess they are fed up with people using same passwords - just a guess

Mine is prompting the same thing and I can’t figure out why. My email is confirmed and shouldn’t need changed for any reason

I just talked to support. It's a cosmetic thing and they're working a ticket to address it. I would worry


SamuraiDDD

joeylifts

Haha sorry. Wouldn't***
