in reply to Requiring old password in order to change your password

The password I had for years is not working and apparently my PM email address is no longer valid. What can I do? I created a new account just so I could start this recoverd process. I am longtime user: bradcathey Thanks.

    Your account was disabled (by nulling the password field) because yours was one of the passwords leaked in the "perlmonks hack" of May, 2009. In reviewing the list of compromised accounts, I discovered about a dozen which still had their passwords unchanged since the leak. Yours was one. Seems you ignored all the admonitions to change your password at the time!

    I'll re-enable your account, by filling in a temporary password. You should then use What's my password? to retrieve it; and then, once you've logged in, set it to something new. And please exercise better password hygiene. :-)

      Points taken. It will be good to be back in.
