Hey there pandora, Wow scary huh, well one of my yahoo mails were hacked and i couldnt retrieve it fast enough the guy or gal that hacked removed the email addres that i can use to recreate a password and send it too, smart prick, well anyway no details there about me so no problem, just take care and make sure you change your password and even security questions from time to time, I do it quaterly and also dont forget to document new passwords and security questions so that if you forget you have it written down take care and have a blast lotting

Strange thing happened to me also just a few hours ago, I tried to log in to my gmail account but it kept saying wrong username or password. I still can't log in until now. I hope it's just a temporary problem...I keep praying that it's not hacked.

Hi pandora22!! I haven't experienced it because I am making sure that I have strong passwords on my online accounts wether it is an email account or accounts like in youtube. A very strong password consist of combinations of numbers, letters, special symbols (like: # $ @ !), and cap and uncap letters, and even spaces. A sample of strong passwpord is: p@sSword145. I normally changed password twice every three months. I also set up a tricky security questions like: "What is your favorite beverage?" I would set up answers like "I don't know" or "water" I hope this will help you, pandora22!! Have a nice mylotting.
