I went to log in to an account that I've had for many years. I hadn't logged in for about a week. I got a message that I need to change the password. This never happens typically. When I got to the password change screen, I entered the old password and then a NEW one (twice to confirm) and got an error message that my password was wrong and do I want to reset it.
Obviously this was troubling but I had no choice. I chose to reset and entered in a new password, after receiving an authentication string on my confirmed cell phone.
That went thru fine and now I'm able to log back in using my account name and the new password.
Any clue why this happened? You think someone else knows my account name and kept trying to log in, thus triggering this process?
