Housekeeping! Destructoid passwords now require a stronger pattern, so please go and change your password to something that’s very difficult for an attacker to guess. Help us protect your privacy and reduce bot accounts by making this change this week.
Next week we’re going to batch-issue strong passwords to accounts that don’t meet the requirement. I realize this is a pain in the ass and I do apologize in advance, but this is a better alternative to having a spam bot take over your account. This unfortunately happened to one of community members so we’re doing our best to prevent it from happening again. It’s worth the trouble to fix it for everyone this one time as best as we can.
TLDR: We require a manual action from you — You must change your password to something tough, or we’ll reset your password automatically in the next seven or so days. We’ll be rolling this feature out gradually so we can respond to your support emails in a timely fashion.
