When I saved the changes I made My phone asked if I wanted to update the password, so I clicked yes. When I tried to login on my laptop with my normal password it wouldn’t do so. So I looked on my phone for the new saved password which had changed to 123456789123456789, logged in and then updated My password with one I would want to use. I’ve updated my preferences a few times and this has never happened before. Last edited by Morgan; 05/24/2021 3:44 PM. Morgan Johansson BritBike Forum https://www.britbike.com/forums/ubbthreads.php

Code if ($ChosenPassword != "123456789123456789") { $changepassword = 1; $ChosenPassword = md5($ChosenPassword); } It is odd that the system allowed the page to process the password change to this value as it's specifically coded to ignore that value.

You had not changed the password form entry field, but you choose to allow your password manager to update. Your password manager was not intelligent enough to notice that the form was pre-populated with a pseudo value. Your password manager only looked at what it had stored, and what the page was displaying, rather than looking to see if you actually changed values within the field. By blindly clicking through your password manager's prompt and choosing "Yes. Please update the stored password.", it did exactly that. Your password manager updated the stored password, even though you never updated it with UBB.threads.
