Random password reset by SE?

[gerhardt]

today was the 2nd time that my password has been reset by SE. I don't know what they are doing etc. I was in whitegate, then was gonna mule so I logged out and bam , it said my password was changed. Now how does someone change my password while im still logged in? I got the pw reset, but wondering why it is happening to me.

Happened to me in the summer, very annoying and no idea why it occured.

I even called SE and asked why they changed my password, they said that they don't randomly change passwords. The first time that it happened, it happened over the weekend, and I couldnt get my pw rest until the following monday, due to SE hours. I get back on the account and everything was still there. So its kinda weird.

Sounds like account hacked..? Reformat + change pw after format ftw. If SE says they aren't changing your PW, better to assume someone else is and take the proper safeguards than assume SE is lying to you and naively neglect to take the necessary precautions.
