Second time I’m asking this. How does someone change their password when they can’t change their email?

Redesign of what ?

Nairaland is a forum site not social media.
I tire for these people always shouting redesign. The reason I frequent this Nairaland is because of how easy and simple it looks, and it still works great on old phones.
I can't even spend more than 5 minutes on Twitter or reddit because their over complicatedness.

You should look into 2 factor authentication. Every site has it except this one undecided

Not within the last 10 years, I must have before that though. But his quotes were literally just him posting my name constantly so it always felt trollish

That's his own way of flirting with you cheesy

Thanks @Seun.

Password reset done!

Seun:
Fellow Nairalanders,

We have observed an ongoing password guessing attack against Nairaland members. The perpetrators have obtained a list of thousands of usernames and passwords from hacked websites & are systematically trying those passwords on Nairaland to take over your accounts.

If you have used your Nairaland username and password on other websites, they may be able to log in to Nairaland as you, mutilate your profile and send spam messages with your name. To prevent this, please change your Nairaland password to a unique password asap.

For the dozens of Nairalanders whose accounts have been affected, you would have gotten an unexpected login notification from Nairaland. All you need to do to secure your account is to logout, reset your password with this form, and correct your mutilated profile.

For those who are affected, we may scramble your password and log you out to force you to change it. Don't be alarmed. Just logout and reset your password with this form to regain access to Nairaland.

We have taken measures to slow the perpetrators down severely, but it's up to you to make sure that your password is secure.

Best Regards,
Seun Osewa.

Seun, Nairaland needs a Redesign/Rebrand

It will go a long way in giving your platform the attention and credits it deserves in todays SocialMedia/discussion forum platform

Redesign/Rebranding is necessary over these years to ensure you’re capturing the new products, services, members attention.
Hope you know that the more he adds, the longer it takes for each page to open.

Awon advisers don land.
This is seuns site, a sucessful one at that. Rather advise yourself to setup your own SITE.
Only in Nigeria will a man treakking past a mansion, will say they owner does not have taste, if he had adviced him the house would have been designed better.
We too have mouth. How can we advice a sucessful man, why not use the advice for ourselves.
