I realize this isnt relevant to this forum btw, but no where else an unlicensed member can post that I know of.
Happened to me as well 2x earlier. I logged in and also updated the password.

Ditto, 3 tries in the same minute from Bulgaria, Italy, and Brazil based upon the IPs. Password was already pretty secure, but just to be safe I changed it to a REALLY long (randomly generated) password.

KeePass FTW

Yup, same thing about an hour ago.

Your account on vBulletin.org Forum has been locked because someone has tried to log into the account with the wrong password more than 5 times. You will be able to attempt to log in again in another 15 minutes.

The person trying to log into your account had the following IP address: 60.28.212.184

Ip shows China.

Strange, someone tried to access my account 3 times - each time failing. About 45 minutes ago.

I.P's used were:
78.41.17.230
222.124.5.82
200.117.239.246

Well, they can carry on trying - since I use alpha-numerics with symbols.

I just checked my password on http://passwordchecker.co.uk/ its states 100% strong!
